Verse:

At six o’clock this morning when that hollow whistle brought me round

I didn’t stumble from a sweet dream as the train rolled through my town

I didn’t streak! -- down the hall to calm a crying child

No, all in all, this day began and ended with a smile

 

Verse:

Cause nothing lingered in my brain from conversations I replayed

And not a single pushy client called to try and shift the deadline day

And nothing really happened ‘cept the falling of the rain

As I sunk into the rhythm of a slow-movin’ train

 

Chorus:

And the sun came up and the sun came down

And I breathed in and I breathed out

And time chugged along while I listened to the rain

Sink into the rhythm of a slow-movin’ train

 

Instrumental verse

 

Verse:

Nothing bad came in the mail, and nothing good was on TV

And nothing in the news assailed our false sense of security

And nothing really happened ‘cept the falling of the rain

As I sunk into the rhythm of a slow-movin’ train

 

Bridge:

They say a mediocre man is always at his best

And that many a true thing is often said in jest

And the one with the least interest is the one who holds the reins

And a day when nothing happens’ still a day the Lord hath made

 

[Chorus]
