Whispers of the Midwest

[Intro] [Chorus] Don't turn to see the station's glow Eyes fixed on the morning's show Midwest whispers in the breeze It's time to let the journey seize Leave a line of smoke behind While my heart drifts undefined [Verse] Golden leaves in a twirling dance By the door where we took our chance Crisp air carries the scent of grounds This town's alive with restless sounds You're there with your faded case While my heart slows its pace [Pre-Chorus] Rusty rails stretch to the dawn Childhood days have come and gone Holding onto what we knew Before the world takes hold of you [Chorus] Don't turn to see the station's glow Eyes fixed on the morning's show Midwest whispers in the breeze It's time to let the journey seize Leave a line of smoke behind While my heart drifts undefined [Post-Chorus] Horizon's pull takes you away Days stretch long in your delay Cold steel and a sky of grey I wish you could stay [Verse] Take this journal, worn and frail Our story lives in every tale Pages filled with memories Of times we held so easily I'll write you letters every week Words I never dared to speak [Pre-Chorus] Rusty rails stretch to the dawn Childhood days have come and gone Holding onto what we knew Before the world takes hold of you [Chorus] Don't turn to see the station's glow Eyes fixed on the morning's show Midwest whispers in the breeze It's time to let the journey seize Leave a line of smoke behind While my heart drifts undefined [Bridge] The train's whistle cuts the air Beneath the autumn's lonely stare You're a ghost behind the pane Watching seasons shift and wane The platform's empty, cold and bare I vow to keep you in my care [Chorus] Don't turn to see the station's glow Eyes fixed on the morning's show Midwest whispers in the breeze It's time to let the journey seize Leave a line of smoke behind While my heart drifts undefined [Post-Chorus] Horizon's pull takes you away I'll count the hours every day Cold steel and a sky of grey I wish you could stay [Outro]
