Last night I slept down by the river
and out on the gravel bar
I saw a bird silhouetted in the twilight
and I wondered where you were
But the trains don't make me think of you anymore
I hear them everywhere I go in this town
's too big when you're not here
but when you are it's much too small
No, you don't need me to fill the holes in your arms
the tighter I squeeze the less you hold on
but I'm stuck in your web and hooked on a line
oh, I just get more tangled up the harder I fight
So, if you're wondering or thinking of me
well, I'm still here trying to outrun my feet
it's been a long night but now's a new day
so why am I still here? 'Cause that bird flew away
You kind of look like someone that I used to love
'cause he reminded me of someone that I hadn't met
you're always over the other shoulder
and, honey, it's a pain in the neck
So the trains don't make me think of you anymore
they're going by too fast
and every tie in the rail line one time was the last
