Give me a civilized train ride
far across this wonderful countryside
with sights and scenery gently passing by
on quiet, smooth rails before I die
Let me dine on proper plates
on a table properly set
a full night's rest on a pull-down bed
nostalgically comfy as it can get
Yes, it will take longer to arrive where I want
whether a new place or a familiar haunt
but bring back the trains of my youth to me
and let me wear my joy for all to see
