[Verse 1]
Grief is a freight train
Oh, what's a little pain?
When you've got so much to love
Grief is a freight train
Oh, what's a little pain?
When you've got so much to love

[Verse 2]
Forever is a slow train
Oh, what a vivid thing
When you've got so much to lose
Hope is a fast car
Only takes you so far
Boy, you got a lot to learn

[Chorus]
Close your eyes
Take to the sky like a big blue kite
Leave your woes behind
Close my eyes
Trying to remember what you said to me
Before you said goodbye

[Verse 3]
Love is a slow song playing on the radio
I know every word by heart
Happiness is soft light
That we see our lives by
Only fade into the dark
[Chorus]
Close your eyes
Take to the sky like a big blue kite
Leave your woes behind
Close my eyes
Trying to remember what you said to me
Before you said goodbye
