Train Dreams

[Verse 1]

I've seen a grizzly big as a house

Walk across an open plain

Heard of a boy called Elvis something

Whose voice could drive young girls insane

I've seen a man from a mile away

Shoot a bobcat through the brain, but

[Chorus]

Lately, I've been having dreams

Crazy dreams I can't explain

A woman standing in a field of flowers

And a screaming locomotive train

Crazy dreams that go on for hours

And I can't begin to tell you how that feels

[Verse 2]

I've seen an elk with twisted antlers

Throw bright lightning 'cross the sky

Seen a man with a broken curse

Leap from a bridge and try to fly

And I've seen a boy who was a dog

Who became a man who forgot to die

[Chorus]

Lately, I've been having dreams

Crazy dreams I can't explain

A woman standing in a field of flowers

And a screaming locomotive train

Crazy dreams that go on for hours

And I can't begin to tell you how that feels

[Verse 3]

The space that connects me where I am now

To the place where I'll one day be

It's measured in the words that we speak

And the strange and wondrous things I've seen

It's measured in truth, it's measured in love

Measured in a tendency to pain

It's measured by a girl in a field of flowers

Screaming, "Dream of a midnight train"

This has been going on for years

Years and years and years and years

And years and years and years and years

I can't begin to tell you how that feels
