Overnight Trains

All's quiet

While she writes in the back room

By the fire

In a wingback chair

The sandstone glows

The dog's eyes close

We'll wait it out again

And I know this part

And we've come so far

But it's not the same

When you wish for things

Like summer drives

And overnight trains

This dam will hold

The dam must hold

So much time

While they build these gates a hundred strong

As this month holds back the sun

Well there's change on the rise

Stay inside, stay inside

Let's climb the walls again

But we've seen this part

And I guess we called it from the start

But life's not the same

When you wish for things

Like summer drives

And overnight trains

This dam will hold

The dam must hold

All rise all rise

And come in from the cold

Get up and fight

Get up and win

Well there's street riots

And school strikes

'cos the planet's fried

Don't hold back your weakness alone

'cos I know you're strong

There's so much you can learn

But it's not the same

When you wish for things

Like summer drives

And overnight trains

This dam will hold

The dam must hold
