Текст песни: River Jordan + перевод

When the whistle blows and I take my seat on the train

The engine steams and pulls out from the station in the rain

And the ones that I’ve loved

Wave their hands from the side of the tracks

Some laughed, some smiled but you cried

Cause you knew I wouldn’t be coming back

The porter man that punched my ticket gave me a wink and a smile

He said the takeoff can get a little rough

But you’re gonna feel better in a little while

There’s a bar at the back of the train a place to drown your sorrows

And once they’re gone they won’t be coming back for a million tomorrows

And today is the first day of the rest of your life

Well the train lifted off of the ground and said goodbye to the land

Like a dust cloud swept off of the rocks pulled by some unseen hand

I looked down to the town far below thought I saw you waving your hands

I shouted out to let you know that I’m alright

Then my breath fogged the glass

And today is the first day of the rest of my life

I moved on to the back of the train

Bartender pour me a drink now

I held it high in my hand and made a toast to the love that I leave now

I’m moving on from the earth to the sky you won’t see me no more

I’ll make a place for the both of us to stay just across the River Jordan

And today is the first day of the rest of your life

And that day will be the first day of the rest of our lives
