Story behind the song

Life, an endless sequence of emotions, trials, hopes, and turning-aways, is expressed in the railway lore in this song. There is the metaphore of a lonely traveling train; nobody knows where it will take us.

Lyrics

/1/ Deserted platforms,
    Pink-and-honey sun
    Descending at the back,
    Mountains blurred in the distance,
    Light fading far beyond...

/2/ Three minutes to departure -
    Too little, and just
    Perfectly enough
    To ponder and behold
    Before the longest run.

/Ch./ Away from home:
      A mile or million away,
      Our trains may roam
      Until the final failure's day.

/Repeat ch./

/3/ The longest journey has begun:
    On shining rails of dying day -
    A feather and a bullion of lead -
    All the way, the endless way
    Ahead.

/Repeat ch. 2 times/

Tick-tack short flash of red and green,
Power's up... And motion, and ahead just sheen.

/Repeat ch. 4 times/
