Between Us

Took a midnight train Headed way back east Left behind some pain In hopes of finding some peace Fortunately caught one Bound for my old neighborhood Either way, between us, it's good They're building a bridge Links Manhattan with the heartland It's called the California ridge The country needs to expand Saw them lay the first stone It was made of wood Either way, between us, it's good In an age of greys When wrong won't become right Let's lift the haze And scale the heights set my shoulders straight Took a deep breath This meeting I anticipate Unlike impending death Strode on to the platform And there you stood At worst, between us, it's good
