The fields pass by, the river flows
What town that was, I'll never know
We gently sway, to the rhythm of the track
Some people stop and take a look
From gardens just like picture books
Sometimes they wave, and I wave back
The wheels go round, the engine turns
The miles pass slowly the fuel gets burned
The wheels go round, time passes by
Some say hello, and some say goodbye
He's trying hard to stay awake
She's wondering what next to bake
They're holding hands despite their years
I'm trying hard to read this book
But I feel the need to stop and look
At the world outside so near but so far
The wheels go round, the engine turns
The miles pass slowly the fuel gets burned
The wheels go round, time passes by
Some say hello, and some say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
