lyrics

Patience is a virtue, that's what they all say
You're on a train, coming my way
I'm jumping on board, I won't be delayed
Cause nothing ever stops a train

We ride all around town, I'm smiling at you
Well what do you know, you're smiling too
You say "What's in your head, in that locomotive brain?"
I say "Nothing ever stops a train"

Chorus:
You were the comet flying across the midnight sky
Me, that meteor burning bright
You, a hot potato, me, a ripe tomato
You, the apple of my eye

Meet me at the station, down at platform B
We'll choo-choo that train, from sea to sea
Through the sun and the cold and the heat and the dry and the wet and the rain
Nothing ever stops a train

There's only one thing sure, from the day of our birth
One day, we'll return to the earth
With my love and your love and our love I am happily insane
