I took the cannonball down to the ocean
Across the desert from sea to shining sea
I rode a ladder that climbs across the nation
Fifty million feet of earth between the buried and me
"How do you do?"
She said, "Hey, how do you do?"
She buys a ticket 'cause it's cold where she comes from
She climbs aboard because she's scared of getting older in the snow
Love is a ghost train rumbling through the darkness
Hold on to me darling I've got nowhere else to go
"How do you do?"
She said, "How do you do?"
I took the cannonball down to the ocean
Watched the diesel disappear beneath the tumbling waves
Love is a ghost train howling on the radio
"Remember everything." she said, "when only memory remains."
"How do you do?"
She said, "Hey, how do you do?"Verse 1:
No matter how hard I try
A love like that keeps pushing me inside
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the only one
I wish that you were near me now
And get tangled heart to heart
I never felt a love like this before
You're the one I adore
Chorus:
Boy come to me cause love won't wait
Make up your mind, babe it's not too late
Boy I can feel there's love around
Uuhhh baby
Treat me like a lover
Sweet words of love I gave to you
Let yourself go, cause I'm feelin' blue
In my mind, you were always near
Uuhhh baby
Where do we go from here
Verse 2:
So tell me now can there ever be
Anyone else for you but me
No other love can take your place
Or match the beauty of your face
I need to hold U in my arms
I got that lonely feeling again
You trapped me in, don't wanna waste my time
Please help me to ease my mind
Chorus:
Just like a planet needs water
Love needs a heart to survive
I hope that sooner or later
You'll realize...
Chorus
