Took a midnight train

Headed way back east

Left behind some pain

In hopes of finding some peace

Fortunately caught one

Bound for my old neighborhood

Either way, between us, it's good



They're building a bridge

Links Manhattan with the heartland

It's called the California ridge

The country needs to expand

Saw them lay the first stone

It was made of wood

Either way, between us, it's good



In an age of greys

When wrong won't become right

Let's life the haze

And scale the heights



set my shoulders straight

Took a deep breath

This meeting I anticipate

Unlike impending death

Strode on to the platform

And there you stood

At worst, between us, it's good
