GREAT ENGINEER
On a run down railway track
That's seen its better days
We're standing back to back
Must we go our separate ways
The Great Engineer is gonna go
And pull us into Union Station
You can hear his whistle blow
Clear across the whole creation
Weeds have grown between the ties
We walk on rusty rails
Just get it back on track
That old engine never fails
Station master's gold watch
Makes time stand still it seems
Let's climb aboard and let our love
Pick up a little steam
Where the vanishing point appears
The lines just seem to meet
As our destination nears
Imagine a love so sweet
