Our address was in the sky
Just a roof of woven reeds
You and I
On the highest front
Of a very tall tree
Months and months we'd stay up high
Because all the climbing takes such time
And we'd live on the blooms carried in by the breeze
Every night I promise you
We'd go down to see the friends we once knew
But every night I'd make an excuse
And I never came down from the roof
I awoke and you had flown
Just an impression of you next to me
And the terrible sound of the clapping of leaves
Every night I promise you
We'd go down to see the friends we once knew
But every night i'd make an excuse
And I never came down from the roof.

Fast train
Where do your passengers wait?
What's at the heart of your engine's rage?
To what smooth place at the end of the line
With crackling fires and quiet plains
Do the trees bend down
Fold their limbs round you?
Welcome home faithful one
We forgive you.
Slow down fast train
Slow down fast train
Take me with you
