In the to and fro, I come and go from the here to there
It’s muddy and plain as I wait on the train, litter is everywhere
A little music plays, it takes me away and mutes the morning mobs
At least for a while, until the smallest child drowns out the beat in sobs
And there’s nothing I wouldn’t give to undo what I have done
And spend an afternoon with you picking apples in the sun
Take me out of limbo and set me in motion
Fly me in an aeroplane over the wide dark open sea
Wake me up in Kalamazoo or Timbuktu, it’s up to you
Just show me something beautiful I’ve never seen before
A man in a scarf plays a plastic guitar and his partner sings
They pass a sombrero to a girl with a tarot tattoo and a beaded ring
I watch the shadow of tracks, as I go forth and back, so many windowpanes
The people get up and go, till I’m left all alone, then only seats remain
And there’s nothing I wouldn’t give to undo what I have done
And spend an afternoon with you picking apples in the sun
Take me out of limbo and set me in motion
Fly me in an aeroplane over the wide dark open sea
Wake me up in Kalamazoo or Timbuktu, it’s up to you
Just show me something beautiful I’ve never seen before
Show me something beautiful I’ve never seen before
