Always caring  always mine  still always listening  for what isn't there  it just isn't there at all  The smallest doubt can swell and grow  all hope can shrink into indifference  it makes no difference to me  I was only five  when I heard the tale  of the little train that said  "I think I can"  But what's hard to give  is hard to get  and once you've lost it  it's always gone  it's always gone  Sometimes I wish that I could cry  instead of wondering  what's on her mind  what was on my mind this time  For consolation there's  always a next time  but will you take the time?  It will take some time  Don't misunderstand  half the time I can  Don't misunderstand  half the time I only think I can  I was only five  when I heard the tale  of the little train that said  "I think I can"  But what's hard to give  is hard to get  and once you've lost it  it's always gone  it's always gone  Standing on the railroad tracks  I hear the whistle  the Godfathers call  the biggest train of all  It's speeding closer towards the bridge  I'm hoping it can show me  how it's done
