Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shadows are falling, and I'm running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for a while
If I leave you, it doesn't mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for a while
[Verse 2]
When you get up in the morning and see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for a while
It's a train leaving nightly called
When all is said and done
Just keep me in your heart for a while
[Refrain]
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while
[Verse 3]
Sometimes, you're doing simple things around the house
Maybe you'll think of me and smile
You know I'm tied to you just like the buttons on your blouse
Keep me in your heart for a while
[Bridge]
Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall in view
When the winter comes, keep the fires lit
I'll be right next to you
[Verse 4]
Engine driver headed north to Pleasant Stream
Keep me in your heart for a while
These wheels keep on turning, but they're running out of steam
Keep me in your heart for a while
[Outro]
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while
Keep me in your heart for a while
