Lyrics

Seems that I read, or somebody said

Reflecting on information received or heard, possibly about the saying "out of sight, out of mind."

That out of sight is out of mind

Suggesting the belief that being unseen leads to being forgotten.

Maybe that's so but I tried to go

Expressing an attempt to distance oneself and move on.

And leave you behind, what did I find

Discovering the consequences or realization when trying to leave someone behind.


I took a trip on the train

Embarking on a journey, possibly metaphorical or physical.

And I thought about you,

Reflecting on the absent person during the train trip.

I passed a shadowy lane

Passing through a dimly lit path, symbolizing a challenging or unclear situation.

And I thought about you,

Continuing to think about the person while encountering difficulties.


Two or three cars parked under the stars

Observing a scene with parked cars under the stars, indicating a romantic setting.

A winding stream

Depicting a picturesque location with a winding stream.

Moon shining down on some little town

Describing moonlight illuminating a small town, suggesting a tranquil ambiance.

And with each beam, same old dream

Associating the moonlight with recurring dreams or memories.


At every stop that we made

Reflecting on thoughts about the absent person at each stop of the journey.

Oh, I thought about you

Continuing to contemplate the person during the journey.

But when I pulled down the shade

Feeling a sense of melancholy or sadness when blocking out external stimuli.

Then I really felt blue,

Experiencing deep emotions when fully disconnecting from the external world.


I peeked through the crack

Curiosity leading to peeping through a crack, possibly indicating a longing to reconnect.

And looked at the track

Observing the path or journey back to the person.

The one going back to you

Contemplating the route leading back to the individual.

And what did I do

Questioning one's actions or decisions concerning the journey.

I thought about you

Continuing to think about the absent person.
