Hi All hope you all had a lovely Christmas.

This is another collaboration i did with a lyrics writer call Mark McGovern hope you all enjoy and as always love to read your thoughts on this good or bad.

Thanks All

https://soundcloud.com/pat-feely/life-is-a-train

Life Is A Train

People are weird
when its clear that their set in their ways
when weeks flows like days
its so strange
its so hard to change
but life is like a train all the same again and again
and tears are still tears
when at night your alone and you'll pray

So give me a call
and we'll talk
and you'll say its okay
to fear to doubt to shout
when its all so unclear

Chorus:
A tear is a tear
life is a train
we fly by the moments
and live in our pain
we cannot forgive
and we live in regret
fill flowers with hatred
because we can't forget
its okay to say
to move on
just because tomorrow is another day

To feel something real
fills a gap
then they take it away
leaves a hole
its so cold
its a scar
its the end of our train

My sorrow is hollow
but tomorrow always brings
another day

So give me a call
and we'll talk
and you'll say its okay
to fear to doubt to shout
when its all so unclear

Chorus:
A tear is a tear
life is a train
we fly by the moments
and live in our pain
we cannot forgive
we live in regret
fill flowers with hatred
because we can't forget
its okay to say
to move on
just because tomorrow is another day

I really like this Pat.Though i would change the word "fly" to "roll" in the chorus since trains don't fly though i do get the meaning.Nice delivery!Mike

Thanks Mike yeah i see what you mean by using the word "roll" i think what Mark was going for was the speed with that line "we fly by the moments" and i have to be admit that was one of his lines that had me thinking what way to go with his lyrics.

Thanks Barry that's a lovely song I'M A TRAIN and great photos you have for the video, my Grandfather on my Mother side work for the railway here in Ireland and so did my Father God rest them all, but they weren't train drivers but when i started working in the early 70s i use to take a short cut to work along the rail tracks and every now and then a train would pull up beside me and a head would pop out from the train engine window and shout down at me "young feely do you want a lift" and take me the few 100 yards where i would climb down and continue my journey, those were the days my friend.
