First train across the border Goodbye kiss, I'm getting older Lingers all the way down to New York Small towns and scenery Glens Falls to Albany Vacant seats revealed by the rising sun But now I'm headed somewhere else Settling dust on a shelf Recollections from beyond And it's not hard for me Though unsatisfactory Reluctantly I take you in my arms Upstate Independence Day Barefoot in the lake and waiting Fireworks eclipse the light in my eyes We went back for the holiday Early March in the freezing rain Didn't hit the same spot, but we tried And now I'm cutting corners Sleeping late and getting older Tearing down the photos of Montreal It's good as dead to me Swimming pools and groceries Staring at the paint peeling off of the wall Well you can't win 'em all
