Lost in a smile

an' I see her comin' with a smile
on her face a laugh in her eyes
and I, I was lost inside

so when she left I was lost, lost
in a smile I knew never would be
mine now it's been many years
an' ev'ry mornin'

standin' on the porch I see her
comin'  hear her laugh in the wind
see that smile on her face

stoppin' right in front of me lookin'
at me with her famous laugh an' smile
sayin' to me

'I've come to see you again' and
she sees me smile but that's just
me dreamin'

starin' into the distance lookin'
for something that will not be
an' ev'ry mornin'

I see her comin' hear her laugh
see that smile upon her face and
yes I know I'm only dreamin' lost
in a smile

Checkin' out

standin' in the road alone I see
trains passin' by, one by one
I don't know

which way to go, I'm sad an' out
of controll, I must make some effort
to pull myself together

a faint smell's in the air, must be
the turn of the weather, I'll take
my chances whatever

I lost too much of my life, It's shaken
up, startin' to slide, decisions are to be
taken now


somethin' died in me today, I must
take it lying down, last train at the
station

It'll take no explanation, it's takin'
me into the future I don't know
much about

train's leavin', I'm checkin out !
