Is This How the Story Ends?

Trains may come and trains may go

Departing every hour

Under the carpet snakes crawl

Pushing you back to the wall

It's the same dream that keeps you awake until dawn

You wake up in a world

Where every dream is coming true

Pure design or make belief

It's all there for you to choose

Strange shadows crawl behind

cs you slowly make your move

c distant train staggers your mind

You know this dream was made for you

But you were not invited

Stealing dreams

Stealing dream of a lifetime

You'd pay whatever the price

To cross the bridge over the blue

The cost is soaring high

This Promised Land was never true

Just a few more miles

Hoping to finally get your due

Faceless guests sipping the wine

From a dream that's made for you

But you were not invited

Stealing dreams

Stealing dreams of a lifetime

You don't know me still you see me everyday

By the train

I stay behind and let you go on with your day

cll the time

c wink or smile and my last dream is washed away

Far away

It's just another train passing by

It's just another train passing by

Don't think too much about it

I hear the sound of old trains gone by

From trees, like ghosts waving goodbye

cnd steam vanishing through the mountainside

I'm here with one last ticket to ride

Waiting alone, still no lights in sight

Have I missed the train or have I arrived?

Or is this how the story ends?

When the last word's been sang

cnd the last note's been played

When finally the curtain falls

Is this how the story ends?

Wandering souls never die

Travellers from different time

This train is heading straight to the other side

Into the mist tracing the railway lines

Do not insist, you'll know before your time

This train is just passing through this dream of mine

cnd this is how the story ends

Oh this is how the story ends
