Foreman, Jon - Southbound Train Lyrics
Oh,
I guess they'll say I've grown
I know more than I wanted to know
I've said more than I wanted to say...
Yeah, but I'm not so sure
That home is a place
You can still get to by train
So I'm looking out the window
And I'm drifting off to sleep
With my face pressed up against the pane
With the rhythm of my heart
And the ringing in my ears
It's the rhythm of the southbound train
Oh,
Where the wind starts to look like her hair
And the clouds in her bright blue eyes
As the sea and the shore fall and rise
Like her breast as she breathes by my side
And the moon is her lips as the sun
Is headed on down to the sea
Like her head as she lays down on me
Until we reach ocean side
Over and over, I hear the same refrain
It's the rhythm of my heart
And my sleepy girl's breathing
It's the rhythm of my southbound train
Oh,
I suppose they'll say I should've known
Or maybe I'm just feeling old
Like a lawyer with no one to blame...
I'm headed home
Yeah, but I'm not so sure
That home is a place
That'll ever be the same
So we gather up our things
And we head out in the cold
And your eyes are where you carry the pain
When I hear the whistle weeping
It's crying to the sky
It's the rhythm of my southbound train
It's the rhythm of my southbound train

Jon, you are a constant source in my life ... a constant force from survival to praise. Thank you for being my bridge. God is my Shepard.
Alguém de PE escutando?😋😉😍
Jon... you speak my language... Music with God without worry
Beautiful and brilliant! 👏
His songs take us to meditate.
favorite seasons song
This is art at its purest level. <3
we are going to the sky, this song about that
Hermosa canción
My two year old asks for this song and I sing along with it to him
Lael Rombough this is one of the first songs my oldest son loved. From the time he could hear, he's been loving Switchfoot and Jon Foreman. It's such a positive influence for our children.
This is absolutely brilliant.
*the feels completely take over* THANKS GUYS
I have put this in my reference folder for examples of excellent songwriting. A precious piece of art. Thank you, Jon.
on my birthday...love this song!
Very GOOD !!! *-*'
