Parallel Tracks
you are waltzing Matilda
I'm line-dancing with Bill
while you are writing her love songs
I'm writing from random will
you are singing her beautiful ballads
I am living these country tunes
my skies are always cloudy
and yours are sunny and blue
I am in Chicago
you are in Tokyo
I am eating chopped Salad
you are eating, God only knows
you are paving your future
I'm driving with only one wiper
you are saving for some day
and I'm still paying the piper
it's evening and I'm wondering
if these circles can connect
wondering how these trains will meet
when they run on parallel tracks
