On a train through rolling land in my dreams
Trees melt by, and the light moves on through melting trees
I caught your eye for a moment, all trees and bees and knees
I caught your eye for a moment, and then you left me lonely

In a dream in paper-bound fantasy
Caught up in an adventure that don't belong to me
I heard your voice for a moment, in rainy Germany
I heard your voice for a moment, then you said goodbye to me

I'm wishing on starlight, I'm falling with the sand
I’ve memorized the paragraphs that leaked from your own hand
I'm waiting for the phone to ring, though I don't know why
I haven't heard your voice since the middle of July


In a truck, racing yellow lights on wet streets
Blinking through the gray light, rain falls in sheets
I let go for a moment, barely looked away
I only let go for a moment
What were you going to say?

I'm wishing on starlight, I'm falling with the sand
I’ve memorized the paragraphs that leaked from your own hand
I'm waiting for the phone to ring, though I don't know why
I haven't heard your voice since the middle of July

“Goodbye, Beautiful Girl,” He said
