[00:00.83]Train In The Distance - Paul Simon
[00:32.33]She was beautiful as Southern skies
[00:35.16]The night he met her
[00:36.63]
[00:37.30]She was married to someone
[00:39.15]
[00:41.28]He was doggedly determined that he would get her
[00:44.25]
[00:45.12]He was old, he was young
[00:46.84]
[00:48.99]From time to time he'd tip his heart
[00:51.87]
[00:52.80]But each time she withdrew
[00:54.86]
[00:59.05]Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
[01:02.25]
[01:02.90]Everybody thinks it's true
[01:04.82]
[01:06.71]Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
[01:10.31]
[01:10.84]Everybody thinks it's true
[01:12.30]
[01:22.36]Well eventually the boy and the girl get married
[01:25.55]
[01:26.18]Sure enough they have a son
[01:27.83]
[01:30.15]And though they both were occupied
[01:32.09]With the child she carried
[01:33.36]
[01:34.12]Disagreements had begun
[01:35.47]
[01:37.90]And in a while they fell apart
[01:40.56]
[01:41.76]It wasn't hard to do
[01:44.82]
[01:47.85]Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
[01:51.72]Everybody thinks it's true
[01:53.66]
[01:55.59]Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
[01:59.63]Everybody thinks it's true
[02:01.43]
[02:03.26]Two disappointed believers
[02:05.63]
[02:07.12]Two people playing the game
[02:09.20]
[02:11.08]Negotiations and love songs
[02:14.22]Are often mistaken for one and the same
[02:21.07]
[02:25.09]Now the man and the woman
[02:27.11]
[02:28.68]Remain in contact
[02:29.99]Let us say it's for the child
[02:32.06]
[02:33.76]With disagreements about the meaning
[02:35.26]Of a marriage contract
[02:36.88]
[02:37.55]Conversations hard and wild
[02:39.57]
[02:41.29]But from time to time
[02:42.97]He makes her laugh
[02:44.35]
[02:45.14]She cooks a meal or two
[02:49.34]
[02:51.47]Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
[02:54.62]
[02:55.25]Everybody thinks it's true
[02:57.34]
[02:59.12]Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
[03:02.48]
[03:03.19]Everybody thinks it's true
[03:05.01]
[03:06.94]What is the point of this story
[03:08.92]
[03:10.69]What information pertains
[03:12.70]
[03:14.54]The thought that life could be better
[03:16.95]
[03:17.70]Is woven indelibly
[03:20.84]
[03:22.07]Into our hearts
[03:24.62]
[03:25.35]And our brains
