Train In The Distance by: Paul Simon

This is why marriages scare the hell out of me. If I don't believe in God, i might buy into what this song's trying to convey.


She was beautiful as southern skies
The night he met her
She was married to someone
He was doggedly determined that he would get her
He was old, he was young
From time to time he'd tip his heart
But each time she withdrew

Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true

Well eventually the boy and the girl get married
Sure enough they have a son
And though they both were occupied
With the child she carried
Disagreements had begun
And in a while they fell apart
It wasn't hard to do

Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true

Two disappointed believers
Two people playing the game
Negotiations and love songs
Are often mistaken for one and the same

Now the man and the woman
Remain in contact
Let us say it's for the child
With disagreements about the meaning
Of a marriage contract
Conversations hard and wild
But from time to time
He makes her laugh
She cooks a meal or two

Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true

What is the point of this story
What information pertains
The thought that life could be better
Is woven indelibly
Into our hearts
And our brains


Haha, i just found out i've been doing something really stupid lately. It's so stewppid, i could not forgive myself. Yikes!

I agree. Lalo na when I see my magulangs. Not naman because I dont want to get the same problems they have but because I am scared I'll give someone the same problems. I mean, what if I end up like my parents? shouldn't I make sure the people i love will not go through the same problems my parents had, diba? eh what better way to do that but to make sure their genes or blood, bad habits and all, stop with me. like right now, problems to death! they make me so proud of who i am right now, i just want to die in edsa, slit my throat or whatever.
