One Way Ticket

My eyes are misty driving down the highway
The rain is falling on the windshield, I can't see a thing
I'm stuck in this lonesome feeling thinking I'll never be back home again
Cause everyone has their own lullaby
Mine just happens to be everything you say between hello and goodbye
So I can't fall asleep until I know you're back in my arms

I bought a one-way ticket to the end of time
I hope you'll join me somewhere down the line
The train doesn't stop
But it sure slows down
It slows enough for you to look around
You'll count your blessings and you'll count your friends
And you'll wish this train ride never ends

Ain't it funny how my words were once yours
It all comes full circle
And again the rain pours
Like that night at the train station
The steam mixing with my hesitation
And I lost the dream of your eyes
Behind a blue umbrella boarding steps
Bound for bluer skies
And the letter that you left on the nightstand melting in my hands
The black ink staining my heart with every word you wrote
And the letter went something like this

I bought a one-way ticket to the end of time
I hope you'll join me somewhere down the line
The train doesn't stop
But it sure slows down
It slows enough for you to look around
You'll count your blessings and you'll count your friends
And you'll wish this train ride never ends

So I park my car in the pouring rain
Buy my ticket board the train
Heading God knows where
Hoping all the while
That you'll be there
