Boat Train

we built a freight train, it carried cargo
we set the train out to sea if it would float
we had a false hope
we had so far to go
if only trains had buoys
 
we should have built a boat, we should have let it sail
instead we built a train and let the train derail
 
we built a strong ship upon a railroad
sang sailor songs and dreamed of moving in one lane
we had a true love, we called it music
the anchor dropped, there was no steam
 
we should have built a train, we had a thousand tries
instead we built a boat and let the boat capsize
 
i'll dock my boat out in calmer waters
close enough to see land and i'll look for you
your locomotive will pass along the harbor
just close enough to squeeze my hand as you fly through
 
i'm going to build a boat, i'm going to hoist the mast
you're going to build a train, you're going to hear my name
a voice from the past
 
we're going to learn and grow, we're going to have some fun
go our separate ways and maybe meet some day
out by the setting sun
