[bodytext] => Standing at the crossroads of the train tracks My lover just left blowing white dandelions Hoping they'd trace his tracks I hear the howling wind And I hope it will carry him to me In the train's whistle's melody Remembering the times we would lay on the grass Watching the clouds pass by like white dandelions The seeds spelled out "I love You" and so did your lips And you promised you'd never leave my side And we'd sit here and watch the dandelions sway in the wind We said we'd stay here until the white dandelions got lost in snow And wait until they once again began to grow But the time grows longer as I wait for your train to pass by It's becoming clearer that your train may never come Memories of you stick to my soles like gum It's been a year and I realize your train will never arrive I'm laying on the tracks no longer wishing to be alive They found my body last night strung across the thick iron road But they didn't understand Why there was a white dandelion wrapped inside my lifeless hand.
