Strangers on a train David Nail sometimes you see someone when you've already got someone still you wonder what if they had come along, a long time ago You know that they're feeling it too But there ain't nothin' you gonna do Except for imagine who you might have been with them They're not tryin' to make it last Just enjoying each second as they pass 'cause as these little brick houses are flying by 'Neath the flickering of the railcar lights I let myself get lost in your eyes a while Not another passenger in here can see How in my mind you're holdin' me While outside the cold makes snow out of the rain But in here we're just strangers on a train start to smile, i turn my head It's kinda like a spider's web I just can't seem to shake you off So I look your way again staring You're off trying to pretend Like you haven't even noticed me at all But don't feel guilty it don't mean much The truth is the two of us ain't never gonna touch 'Cause as these little brick houses are flying by 'Neath the flickering of the railcar lights I let myself get lost in your eyes a while Not another passenger in here can see How in my mind you're holding me While outside the cold makes snow out of the rain here But in we're just strangers on a train/ Brakes grind, I gotta go Reach down pick up my coat Afraid that you might stop me in the aisle Watch my breath rising in the air I can't do nothing but just stand there As you press your hand against the windowpane And i wave to my stranger on a tran My stranger on a train
