Overnight Trains

All's quiet
 while she writes in the back room
 by the fire
 in a wingback chair
 The sandstone glows
 the dog's eyes close
 We'll wait it out again
 I know this part
 And we've come so far
 but it's not the same
 when you wish for things
 like summer drives
 and overnight trains
 This dam will hold
 the dam must hold
 So much time
 while they build these gates a hundred strong
 as this month holds back the sun
 Well there's change on the rise
 stay inside, stay inside
 let's climb the walls again
 But we've seen this part
 and I guess we called it from the start
 But life's not the same
 when you wish for things
 like summer drives
 and overnight trains
 This dam will hold
 the dam must hold
 All rise all rise come in from the cold
 get up and fight
 get up and win
 There's street riots
 and school strikes
 'cos the planet's fried
 Don't hold back your weakness alone
 I know you're strong
 and there's so much you can learn
 But it's not the same
 when you wish for things
 like summer drives
 and overnight trains
 This dam will hold
 the dam must hold
