Lyrics

When I jumped off,

I had a bucket full of thoughts.

When I first jumped off,

I held that bucket in my hand.

Ideas that would take me,

All around the world.

I stood and watched the smoke,

Behind the mountain curl.

It took me a long time to get back on the train.


Now I'm gone,

And I'll never look back again.

I'm gone,

And I'll never look back at all.

You know I'll never look back again,

I turn my face into the howlin' wind.

It took me a long time to get back on the train.


See my face,

In the town that's flashing by.

See me standing,

At the station in the rain.

See me running there beside the car,

I left it all behind, again I'll travel far.

It took me a long time to get back on the train.


When I jumped off,

I had a bucket full of thoughts.

When I first jumped off,

I held that bucket in my hand.

Ideas that would take me,

All around the world.

I stood and watched the smoke,

Behind the mountains curl.

It took me a long time to get back on the train.

It took me a long time to get back on the train.

It took me a long time to get back on the train.
