Jump the Track

In this light
The dust is visible
Glowing
Golden atmosphere
Even the air I breathe
Is full of memories
Shades of others
Bathe my skin
And since I am alone
I wonder
Who on earth would ever know
If I slipped into the other side
Without making a sound
Without blinking an eye
Without slowing down at all
I could jump the track

Still the wheels are turning
Landscapes echo in my mind
Flying past my windows
How could anyone fear this place
And since I am alone
I wonder
Who on earth
Would ever guess
If I crossed this fragile strand that binds
Without making a noise
Without skipping a beat
Without slowing down at all
I could jump the track

And what were specters now have faces
Casting light
In darkened places
Those that I have loved
Are with me
Never gone
But ever drifting
Through the threads of my existence
Courses
Running
Side by side
Paths entwining
Realigning
Meeting past the great divide
In the realm where phantoms hide
Sanctified
Occupied
And since I am alone
I wonder
Who on earth would ever care
If I slipped away before my time
Without saying a word
Without praying to god
Without slowing down at all
I could jump the track
I could jump the track
I could jump...
