[00:00.00]Train In The Distance - Jacqui Dankworth/Alec Dankworth/Malcolm Edmonstone/Mike Outram/Roy Dodds
[00:26.35]She was beautiful as southern skies
[00:28.85]The night he met her
[00:31.46]She was married to someone
[00:35.96]He was doggedly determined that he would get her
[00:40.48]He was old he was young
[00:44.09]From time to time he'd tip his heart
[00:48.25]But each time she withdrew
[00:54.54]Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
[00:58.95]Everybody thinks it's true
[01:02.75]Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
[01:11.09]Well eventually the boy and the girl get married
[01:15.24]Sure enough they have a son
[01:19.32]And though they both were occupied
[01:21.03]With the child she carried
[01:23.38]Disagreements had begun
[01:27.53]You now while they fell apart
[01:31.57]It wasn't hard to do
[01:37.83]Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
[01:42.14]Everybody thinks it's true
[01:45.93]Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
[01:54.04]Two disappointed believers
[01:57.92]Two people playing the game
[02:02.36]Negotiations and love songs
[02:05.68]Are often mistaken for one and the same
[03:05.13]Now the man and the woman
[03:07.12]Remain in contact
[03:10.28]Let us say it's for the child
[03:14.57]With disagreements about the meaning
[03:16.24]Of a marriage contract
[03:18.64]Conversations hard and wild
[03:22.52]But from time to time
[03:24.39]He makes her laugh
[03:26.50]She cooks a meal or two
[03:33.07]Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
[03:37.32]Everybody thinks it's true
[03:41.16]Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
[03:49.61]What is the point of this story
[03:53.15]What information pertains
[03:57.61]The thought that life could be better
[04:00.96]Is woven indelibly
[04:06.31]Into our hearts
[04:08.30]And our brains
