No it doesn't matter if it's real or not
It isn't wise to make it stop
It's used to getting only what it wants
And we're in no shape not too be fought
It has no mercy with the wings it's got
A shadow longer than you could have thought
It's not in any, no mood to talk
It has me cornered it has you caught
Out walking the city in your boots in the rain
I've been here sitting down looking out into the waves
I'm indifferent now to any other pain

I hear the ocean when I wanna hear trains
I hear the ocean when I wanna hear trains
Yeah, I wanna change horses and I wanna switch lanes

In the morning a fool is quick to pretend
This night too, does not begin
Now with a shot glass coming up again
Elbows down to the bitter end
Your in the bar light with you smoke rings
And a stranger, who's leaning in
And I'm hoping to blackout and land long before you're more than friends

Oh, I'm being handled like a pistol and a boy who plays
While lost in the saddle, two thousand miles out of range
Now I'm not listening but it's calling out my name

I hear the ocean when I wanna hear trains
I hear the ocean when I wanna hear trains
Yeah, I wanna change horses and I wanna switch lanes

Oh, I'm in the desert now with this flag being raised
Now this is surrender and these are the cruelest of days
Now I'm not working with a net below I pay

I hear the ocean when I wanna hear trains
I hear the ocean when I wanna hear trains
Yeah, I hear the ocean when I wanna hear trains
