I know you slip away
When my eyes are closed.
And sometimes you return so slow
When I think I have arose.
Desert me in mid sentence
Blank my meeting eyes.
Make them ask me questions
Then allow me no replies.
You scatter brain me
Can’t retrain me
You see I see
You are gone.
My very fond
And faithful engineer.
You stay here.
Stick with me.
Get your tickets ready please!
Oh uh, hello there. How you doing?
Listen, my name is Barry and I'm the Conductor on this train so if you need anything, you just ask me, okay?
The bathrooms are right over there and please, pick up after yourself on account of I clean the place, too.
And uh, seeing as you're not from around here I'll just tell you straight out - although every story you might hear on this train is true, some stories are "truer" than others, if you can read between the rails...
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and, y'all come back now, y'hear?
Have a grand day, friend.
