Got on in New Haven   Last car on the train   Put my hat on the seat   Wipe the tears from my eyes      I watched my life go by   Like a movie in my brain   Scenes unreeling   In a sceneless chain   On the window   And a silver screen of rain      And the opening title scrol   And the score comes in and under   And I'm in the starring role   In a world of love-struck wonder      It's a tale full of promise   About two crazy kids   Falling in love, but in flashback      And then the music,   That gorgeous music   And I wake up,   Rattling down the railroad track.      He could be sweet,   But I stayed on my guard   Just how good a liar   Can a decent man be?      I always played my hand   Like I didn't have the cards   Cause he held them all   So I could never see   Yes, he played me for a fool   And I agreed      And the closing credits roll   And the waves come in like thunder   Cause the hero's lost contro   And I made a fatal blunder         Just another sad story   Two star-crossed kids   Racing headlong up a cul-de-sac      And then that music   That mournful music   And the train's disappearing   Down that railroad track      And the long, slow dissolve   As we fade to black............
