The Journey is the Destination
The murky sound of alternative teeside.
Slow sad songs.
Lyrics
THE JOURNEY NOT THE DESTINATION
You sit there numbly on the train,
There’s a man with a chicken beside you.
The carriage is old, the upholstery is torn,
It’s dirty though it may once have been blue.
You sit patiently, not reading,
Just staring out of the window,
Not thinking much, just picturing,
The place where you are going.
And you tell yourself it’s about the moving not the waiting,
It’s about the journey not the destination.
You book yourself into the transit hotel,
It’s shabby and has seen better days,
You find your room and you lay on the bed,
And get ready for another very long wait.
And you tell yourself it’s about the moving not the waiting,
It’s about the journey not the destination.
The journey is the destination,
If you don’t accept this you will never arrive,
If you’re always waiting for tomorrow,
You will wait away your life.
You’re on another train looking out of the window,
And you’re taking in every detail,
You’re trying to live in the moment,
You don’t want to wish your life away.
And you tell yourself it’s about the moving not the waiting,
It’s about the journey not the destination.
