As we board, I note those in sight
A host of friends, on this train of life
A life brimming with dreams and plans
Slowly waning, like drifting sands
A lucid dream, there ain't no turning back

If you set out with a crowd so grand
Gradually you'll find they'll disband
The train empties don't worry, life's train rolls on through
Like lost years in the dark, the stations pass you by
Most people step off, but a handful carry through
The precious and few
The precious and few

Night's shadows dance, as storm winds prevail
I'll linger on, as the station fades from view
When others depart, I'll remain true
This adventure of ours, the only truth to rely
When the curtain falls, it's you and I, side by side

If you set out with a crowd so grand
Gradually you'll find they'll disband
The train empties don't worry, life's train rolls on through
Like lost years in the dark, the stations pass you by
Most people step off, but a handful carry through
The precious and few
The precious and few
