lyrics

Gabriela

You say you’ve never been on a train
You’ve never left your home
The sun comes downs on the gypsy towns
My mind begins to roam

You can’t leave and I can’t stay
Our wondering hearts make the world this way

I float like a dandelion in the hot red/red hot night
deep as the blood of St. valentine
But when the cheer from the day has gone
I fall like the night time

You can’t leave and I can’t stay
Our wondering hearts make the world this way
Take the road and you’ll never get there
Lost and alone, nobody to care

One should not eat the bread until the baker is fed
Or you run the risk of it being laced with lead
They say you should help yourself before you help one another
But you’ll be up a dry creek with your throttle and your rudder

The steel wheels grind like the gears in my mind
They scream as they slow down
And like the smoke trail vale that leaves our fate so pale
We dissolve into the night time

Chorus
