lyrics

Standing on a platform in my dreams,
Waiting on the train to come,
I can smell the steam it won't be long,
Soon I will be in your arms again.

I'm ready for the heat of the sun,
It gets so hot but we won't run,
Won't mind the sweat cos' I'll be in your arms.

Darling it's been a long, long time,
I'm done with chasing goals,
I'm done with chasing all the things a younger me desired.
We'll leave that to the kids you know,
cos they've got all that cool stuff under control.
All I know is I want you,
and I hope that you still want me too,
Darling we are getting old,
and I'm done with chasing fool's gold.

Waiting on the last of the load,
this train is very long you know,
stretches across the great unknown,
is someone riding there alone?

He's been out searching for gold,
He really thought he would find some,
but now he's headed home with none,
the promises were one big run around.

Train clatters down the tracks,
steaming monster won't you take him back,
All his trust is in your rails,
will she still love him even though he fails?

Darling it's been a long, long time,
I'm done with chasing goals,
I'm done with chasing all the things a younger me desired.
We'll leave that to the kids you know,
cos they've got all that bullshit under control.

Darling it's been a long, long time,
I'm done with chasing goals,
I'm done with chasing all the things a younger me desired.
We'll leave that to the kids you know,
cos they've got all that bullshit under control.
All I know is I want you,
and I hope that you still want me too,
Darling we are getting old,
and I'm done with chasing fool's gold.
