I Ride The Sentimental Train

by Soulful Ensemble   Dec 28, 2007


Fighting for love in this sentimental train,
The ride is harsh, but conditions are plain.
Its in my mind that I'm going insane,
Because the girl I love is loved in vain.

Who knows what, where, or when?
Who can tell me who, why, and how?
I have no place to breath in this hot den,
And the train begins to disavow me now.

I'm riding on the sentimental train,
I have no bags or flags to share my pain.
Roving vagabonds I pass say I'm strong and smart,
But they don't really know I have a heart.

The ones who pass me stare at me
Making faces to make me want to flee.
I keep my mind clear and near
To show them I wont disappear.
But my ex-girlfriends, friends and lovers;
Are unclear and confused under the covers
And remain there, trying to recover
While I find some other lovers.

Aboard the sentimental train,
My mind can't face the strain
Of seeing the trecherous souls
That filled the walls with holes.

As I walk along the halls, running into famous fellows,
I see Shakespeare drunk and real mellow.
I call his name and he returns, with quite a loud bellow.
His squall fills the hallway, and the sound is like a cello,
With its strong and furious hounds,
Barking with a sound that is beautifully profound.

"What are you doing here?" I ask,
"I've come to see you fall apart,
To write a play about it and then depart."
"What will you call it?" I inquire,
He says," The Man With No Desire."
I reply,"I like it", and then retire.
