Steel Road I can hear a train passing at the Rivanna Junction I can't decide on which way it's going Probably to Gladstone and on west to Lynchburg Then off to Roanoke and on to god only knows
And I can't understand the way that you see me And I don't understand the way I'm seeing you Maybe you're too young maybe I'm too old To feel alone this close to you
I can hear my Father screaming in the kitchen at my Mom They're throwing dishes again And there I am a man at age seven In my room alone in this world of stone
I don't know if I know them I don't if I will I don't know if I care either way But I know I trust no one
And I can't be trusted To be here tomorrow After our brightest day
My heart, it beats slow now and without repeating What I've seen and wished I'd never done I've tried and I've tried, girl, to see us as different I'm saying I'm leaving without saying it's done
And you don't know me and I don't know you And I don't know me and you don't know you Let's be strong now and accept this might not last Today has passed tomorrow'll be new
And I can hear a train passing at the Rivanna Junction I can't decide on which way it's going
