Runaway Train Lyrics by Jack O’Rourke

Wild Place

2021

[Verse 1]
Landscape flashes, batten down the hatches
Trees and streams, movie reels, through windows on a train
Shades of you, midnight blue fall into the unknown
They don't fade away, it you store 'em for a winter
They don't fade away, if you keep 'em in our larder

[Chorus]
I wanna make love to you on a runaway train
No route or tracks of tears, just an open, rolling plain
We'll crash into ocean, wrapped in waves of foam
Lost in you, you lost in me, our way to roam
On a runaway train

[Verse 2]
This train rolls in, wheels sigh and break
Your arched back against the city scape
Eyes of wine, tell tale signs, let's shelter from this storm
Build a love nest, open fire, watch the flames transform
They won't burn out, if you gather all our embers
They won't burn out, if you fan them during winter

[Chorus]
I wanna make love to you on a runaway train
No route or tracks of tears, just an open, rolling plain
We'll crash into ocean, wrapped in waves of foam
Lost in you, you lost in me, our way to roam
On a runaway train

[Bridge]
It's a beautiful night, turn down that worry
It's a beautiful night, turn your face to the wind and the sea

[Chorus]
I wanna make love to you on a runaway train
No route or tracks of tears, just an open, rolling plain
We'll crash into ocean, wrapped in waves of foam
Lost in you, you lost in me, our way to roam
On a runaway train

[Outro]
Landscape flashes, batten down the hatches
