Railroad Tracks
I've always wanted to walk down railroad tracks
Balanced on rusty rails
Arms outstretched
Taunting the behemoth
Hit me, hit me
Maybe they lead to my youth
Where mornings were warm
And the air tasted like dew
I would wear a dress just to feel the wind
whip at my skirts
Maybe I would lie down
In the middle, maybe
I could watch it pass over me
Or maybe I would lie across
And watch it pass under me
Maybe I'm just taunting god
I hear lights and see the wails of sirens
Is it dawn or dusk? I can't remember
The trees on either side reach out
I wish I could reach them
Hit me, hit me
I'll watch it pass from above
