Last Train Through Larkspur (Version 3)

Verse

Station clock reading nine past four

Ticket stub half burned on the floor

Your blue sedan engine still warm

Tailgate down where we said goodbye form

I'm watching headlights disappear in the rain

Crickets playing a rhythm I can't name

Pre-Chorus

Someday this train don't run no more

We won't have to say what's left unspoken before

Chorus

Last train through Larkspur, windows down low

Leaving this small town and everything we know

Radio static, your hand finds mine at the wheel

Last train through Larkspur, watch it light up in gold

Verse 2

Five years later I see your name in red ink

Coffee shop sign in a city block that's sunk

You moved to LA chasing something bright

I stayed behind and lit out for midnight

Same old fields but different view now

Learning how to love somebody new, somehow

Pre-Chorus

Someday this train don't run no more

We won't have to say what's left unspoken before

Chorus

Last train through Larkspur, windows down low

Leaving this small town and everything we know

Radio static, your hand finds mine at the wheel

Last train through Larkspur, watch it light up in gold

Bridge

I sent you a letter with just three lines

Every word I wrote still felt like mine

It came back stamped returned to sender

Guess some things are better left to summer

Summer's gone but its ghost stayed

Living someone else don't mean it faded

Chorus

Last train through Larkspur, windows down low

Leaving this small town and everything we know

Radio static, your hand finds mine at the wheel

Last train through Larkspur, watch it light up in gold
