David Arn - Two Trains Lyrics
carrying that Red Cross in the Italian sun?To get the rush danger bringsYou’d meet bulls and freaks inside the ringsIt’s cut to the bone, jump into the blastBut first, one must last, one must lastThere were two trains comingTo where hope meets its second chanceOne could easily take you home,The other was bound for FranceYou smiled bravely to waiting soldiersThey knew which one you’d rideThey were merely lost boys at your sideAt Sylvie’s table at rue de l’OdeonYou read simple praise for comrades goneIl faut d’abord durerEveryone was a man that dayNo matter how your fate gets castFirst, one must last, one must lastThen there were two trains comingRolling for the women and the painOne blew the whistle ’cos the hour got lateAnother track was announced for SpainYou drank slowly though the closing sign was brokenPeasants fought to be your guideWomen danced, capturing you with their faces, they left your hands untiedYou wrote a chilly ending no one could have knownDoctor’s son saves all lives but his ownWhat did you see so strangeWhen you stared out at that purple western range?Grace under pressure unsurpassedSurely you’d stand fast, you’d stand fastThen there were two trains comingSo little time to packOne could no longer take you homeThe other wasn’t coming backThey were shocked at what this life could doWith all the battles you’d survivedThey were merely lost boys at your side
