Departure

The mountain is behind us

The tracks are before

Only a few minutes left

Before you walk through the door

And the whistle blows...

And a last goodbye

A last wave

And you must fly

The stars are moving

The train is still

The train is leaving

And the stars fill

The train is almost gone

The moon has set

The smoke is far off

And the night almost spent

Then a melody-

A song begins

A string of notes

Carried by the wind

It flows over us

It fills the sky

It is quiet but clear

And it whispers goodbye

But it tells us that soon

Another day will come

Sooner than we think

And you will be home
