I ran into a pretty girl And her sister We were on a train The train was burning Up the tracks Their hair fell in their eyes And down their backs A girl, her sister and a train... They came from Canada Southwest Ontario Every time they talked to me It sounded like stereo We crossed plains and mountain ranges Salt flats covered in snow We saw ten thousand places Hiways never go A girl, her sister and a train... We waited in the field Beside the station The girls were real Was the train just our imagination? The sun dropped behind a bluff We sang a folksong I held them in my arms As the train rolled all night long Lovers drift together Traverlers drift apart Our roads will end forever Right back where they started A girl, her sister and a train... If you wont lvoe me In your house on the hill I know for all my life These sisters will A girl, her sister and a train...
