A Girl, Her Sister and a Train

I ran into a pretty girl

And her sister

We were on a train

The train was burning

Up the tracks

Their hair fell in their eyes

And down their backs

A girl, her sister and a train...

They came from Canada

Southwest Ontario

Every time they talked to me

It sounded like stereo

We crossed plains and mountain ranges

Salt flats covered in snow

We saw ten thousand places

Hiways never go

A girl, her sister and a train...

We waited in the field

Beside the station

The girls were real

Was the train just our imagination?

The sun dropped behind a bluff

We sang a folksong

I held them in my arms

As the train rolled all night long

Lovers drift together

Traverlers drift apart

Our roads will end forever

Right back where they started

A girl, her sister and a train...

If you won't lvoe me

In your house on the hill

I know for all my life

These sisters will

A girl, her sister and a train...
