00:00 Sat on this train on my way home, should have been different, too soon to go. I wonder what
00:09 could have been, what wonders I could have seen. I'm tired and alone and I'm on my way
00:15 home. I wish I'd have stayed and dreamed of good days. There's no point in thinking what
00:23 could have it been, the wonders I wonder if I'll ever see. This train is now stopped due
00:31 to man on the track. We can't go forward and I want to go back. But life is a mystery to
00:38 me, what was once a dream I'll now never see. I hope he's safe on the track, I hope that
00:46 he will go back. There's no way of knowing and no way of showing what happens to the
00:52 man on the track. I'm lucky in so many ways for trips out on rainy Sundays, but if I'd
01:00 have stayed and if we had played the man on the track may never have been saved. I'm grateful
01:07 for being with you, you're someone that I never knew. You know you are welcome to come
01:14 visit me to see the wonders, the wonders to see. But think of the man on the track, for
01:20 him there's no going back. So stay where you are, we are not very far, we can wonder one
01:27 day and wonder what may.
