Lyrics

Do you always like it better when you are walking away?
So no one can stay close to you and no one knows your name
Well the trees are growing slowly love
And the night is coming fast
So let's hide out in our rooms tonight
And dream of the day that past

But it's quiet when you're gone
You've been traveling for days
Now it's quiet when you're gone
Like a movin' movin' train

Does the preacher know where we all go
when it is time to die?
Or is he singing us to sleep just so we'll shut our eyes?

So Sheila's on the telephone, says she can't see me again
No it ain't me, no it ain't her
It's just her new boyfriend
He says it's dangerous to talk to those who you only admire
And every boy's perfect for her
Because every boy is a liar

But it's quiet when you're gone
You've been traveling for days
Now it's quiet when you're gone
On a movin' movin' train

And I don't see what the big deal is
I mean really, I'm just fine
See, I fake a smile everyday from nine to five
And you want love before it happens
When it's gone you want it to stay
But forget those things that you had
Cause we all just took them away, again
