Leaving Train
Journey of Liberation: Christian Parker's Leaving Train
Lyrics
Well, I left my home and the girl that I know
Expressing the act of leaving home and a familiar relationship.
Yes, it's true it was time to move on
Acknowledging that the departure was necessary and the right time to move forward.
So, I packed up my cloths, and I pawned my guitar
Packing belongings, including a guitar, and preparing for an uncertain journey.
I don't know which train I'll get on
Uncertainty about the specific train to board, indicating a lack of clarity about the future.
Leave some old friends behind, I don't know what I'll find
Leaving behind old friends, unsure of what will be encountered in the new journey.
I'm gonna ride the leaving train
Expressing the intention to ride the "leaving train," suggesting a departure or a significant change.
Gonna ride the leaving train
-With the sun burnin' low and my eyes half closed
Describing the journey with the sun setting and a sense of drowsiness.
I don't know if I'll get to sleep tonight
Uncertainty about being able to sleep, indicating a restless state of mind.
By tomorrow I'll be in a town I've never seen
Anticipating arrival in an unfamiliar town the next day.
And the morning will be a surprise
Expecting the morning to bring surprises, emphasizing the unknown nature of the journey.
Yes, I travel alone, but I feel so at home
Feeling a sense of belonging while traveling alone, suggesting comfort in solitude.
I'm gonna ride the leaving train
Reiteration of the decision to ride the "leaving train," emphasizing the significance of departure.
Gonna ride the leaving train
-No one knows where I've gone, so I write a letter home
Highlighting the unknown destination, writing a letter to the girl at home for understanding.
To my girl so that she will understand
Expressing a desire for the girl to comprehend the reasons behind the departure.
And it seems long ago, and those faces I know
Reflecting on the passage of time and the fading memories of familiar faces.
They are fading like pictures in the sand
Comparing memories to pictures in the sand, suggesting the transient nature of connections.
When this journey is through, I'll see everything new
Anticipating a fresh perspective and new experiences at the end of the journey.
I'm gonna ride the leaving train
Reaffirming the commitment to ride the "leaving train" as a symbolic representation of embracing change.
Gonna ride the leaving train
