"Auden's Train" lyrics - EDIE BRICKELL

Drive and drive faster and make a good run
Down the Springfield Line in the shining sun
Fly like an airplane and don't pull up short
Till you brake for Grand Central Station, New York

For there in the middle of that waiting hall
Should be standing the one that I love most of all
If he's not there to meet me when I get to town
I'll stand on the sidewalk with tears rolling down

For she is the one that I love to look on
The acme of kindness and perfection
For love's more important and powerful than
Even a priest or a politican

Drive and drive faster and make a good run
Down the Springfield Line in the shining sun
Fly like an airplane and don't pull up short
Till you brake for Grand Central Station, New York
