From the recording This Train
**This Train*
[Verse 1]
Last July beneath the Ferris wheel lights
You laughed and stole my jean jacket that night
We danced barefoot by the river in the rain
Now every mile apart just calls your name again
[ Verse2]
You kissed me by the ticket booth at half past ten
Said, "Baby, I'll be back before the leaves turn red again"
I still hear your laughter riding every midnight breeze
Like a song we left unfinished hanging in the trees
### Chorus
I'm standing on the platform in the pouring summer rain
Watching headlights in the distance, counting every passing train
Got your picture in my pocket, got your memory in my brain
My heart keeps beating faster, waiting for This train
Yeah, my heart keeps beating faster, waiting for This train
---
[Verse 3]
Remember that old diner where we'd share one slice of pie
I'd steal the cherries off the top and laugh when you asked why
The waitress knew our names before we'd walk inside the door
Funny how the smallest things can make me miss you more
### Chorus
I'm standing on the platform with your letter in my hand
Watching shadows stretch across the tracks like footprints in the sand
Every whistle sounds like heaven rolling through my veins
My heart keeps beating faster, waiting for this train
Yeah, my heart keeps beating faster, waiting for this train
### Bridge
Some nights the silence felt a hundred miles too wide
Some nights I reached across the bed and found the empty side
Every sunset hurt a little more than the one before
Holding on to promises while staring at the door
But distance never changed the way our hearts remained
Just two souls on separate tracks waiting for the same train
[full band interlude]
[Verse 4]
I saved the wildflower you tucked behind your hair
The one you picked beside the tracks before you weren't there
Pressed between the pages of a book we used to read
A little piece of yesterday that's everything I need
### Chorus
I'm standing on the platform in the pouring summer rain
Watching headlights in the distance, counting every passing train
Got your picture in my pocket, got your memory in my brain
My heart keeps beating faster, waiting for this train
Yeah, my heart keeps beating faster, waiting for this train
### Chorus
I'm standing on the platform with your letter in my hand
Watching shadows stretch across the tracks like footprints in the sand
Every whistle sounds like heaven rolling through my veins
My heart keeps beating faster, waiting for this train
Yeah, my heart keeps beating faster, waiting for our train
### Final Tag
Two hearts, one destination
One station, one refrain
She's waiting for this train
He's waiting for this train...
Two hearts, one destination
One station, one refrain
She's waiting for this train
He's waiting for this train...
Review -- Based on the lyrics in the uploaded file and the song's romantic, country-rock atmosphere, here's a review you could use:
**"This Train" by Media Line Road** is a heartfelt country-rock ballad that captures the anticipation, longing, and hope of two lovers awaiting a reunion after time apart. Built around vivid memories of Ferris wheel nights, small-town diners, handwritten promises, and rain-soaked train platforms, the song blends nostalgic storytelling with an emotionally resonant chorus that grows more powerful with each repetition. The Western-inspired imagery and gentle melancholy of the verses give way to a sense of optimism, making the arrival of the train a metaphor for love's enduring promise. Rich in detail and authentic emotion, "This Train" feels like a modern country classic—part love story, part road song, and entirely sincere.
