Aboard My Train - Kevin Morby

I once loved a boy so smart and true

We would walk home every day from the school

He’d say, «I think we could walk forever

Oh no, how 'bout just a little while?»

Okay

He would make me laugh like the devil, haha

He would pick me up like the child that I was

In my time I’d like to stay young forever

Like a tide, the crest beneath sunny weather

May we fill these lungs with laughter (haha)

And we may shake these bones with style (watch me now)

And may we claim all that we’re after (everything)

And may we do it wearing a smile

And may the breath we breathe be free

And for you to remain a part of me

Three, four

I have loved many faces, many places

All aboard my train but depart at different stations

And some of them look the same

But none of them smell the same

And some of them will never change

While some of them are growing strange

And some of them are center stage

While some of them go and turn my page

And some are

And some are diseased with rage

Oh, but all of them are aboard my train

But all of them are a friend of mine

And oh, my darling, can’t you see?

Oh that, babe, oh, and you, are a part of me
