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]
