Stop That Train
Love's Departure: A Journey of Longing
Lyrics
Stop the train
Expressing a desire to halt or change the current situation
I need to get on
Expressing urgency to board the train
my baby said she's leaving me today
Indicating a personal crisis - the speaker's partner is leaving
The sun is shining
Describing the setting with a positive atmosphere
Ocean breathes across my face
Depicting a serene moment with nature
And I'm so far from home every night we're in a new place
Conveying the transient nature of the speaker's life on the road
Just another town, just another crowd, just another place to play real loud
Highlighting the routine and monotony of touring
And I'll be coming home to you
Expressing a commitment to return home despite the challenges
Stop the train
Repetition of the desire to stop the train, emphasizing urgency
I need to get on
Reiteration of the need to board the train
my baby said she's leaving me today
Restating the reason for urgency - the partner's departure
Stop the train
Repetition for emphasis - stop the train
I need to get on
Reiterating the urgency to board the train
my baby said she's leaving me today
Reaffirming the partner's intention to leave
She said she's leaving on a morning train
Providing details about the partner's departure on a morning train
she won't be back for hours
Indicating a prolonged absence
She said oh dear I do love you
Expressing love despite the impending separation
No matter what they say or do
Affirming commitment despite external influences
Stop the train
Repetition of the urgent need to stop the train
I need to get on
Reiteration of the need to board the train
my baby said she's leaving me today
Restating the partner's intention to leave
Stop the train
Repetition for emphasis - stop the train
I need to get on
Reiterating the urgency to board the train
my baby said she's leaving me today
Reaffirming the partner's decision to leave
But I won't be gone for too long
Assuring a temporary absence and the speaker's commitment to return
I gotta hit the road and gotta play my songs
Explaining the need to travel for musical performances
And i'll find all my loving and bring it home to you
Expressing the intention to find love and bring it back home
Ill put my footprint in this world, grab my pen and paper and put it down in words
Describing a desire to make a lasting impact through music
Now I'll find all my loving and bring it home to you
Reiteration of the intention to find love and return home
Stop the train
Repetition of the urgent need to stop the train
I need to get on
Reiteration of the need to board the train
my baby said she's leaving me today
Restating the partner's intention to leave
Stop the train
Repetition for emphasis - stop the train
I need to get on
Reiterating the urgency to board the train
my baby said she's leaving me today
Reaffirming the partner's decision to leave
Stop the train
Repetition of the urgent need to stop the train
I need to get on
Reiteration of the need to board the train
my baby said she's leaving me today
Restating the partner's intention to leave
Stop the train
Repetition for emphasis - stop the train
I need to get on
Reiterating the urgency to board the train
my baby said she's leaving me today
Reaffirming the partner's decision to leave
Stop the train
Final repetition emphasizing the urgent need to stop the train
I need to get on
Reiteration of the need to board the train
my baby said she's leaving me today
Reaffirming the partner's intention to leave
