Soulmate Understudy

from To And Fro by Alessandro Takeshi

lyrics

Do you see what I see
Do you hear what I hear roaring proud
Its the train called No Round Trips Allowed

And if you do as I do
If you do as I do dutifully
Let my lover mistake you for me

The train’s always late by an hour
But it still arrives too soon
Would that I could break its vow
I’d sell off my whole estate
To buy a ticket home on that train

If only you could switch with me
You wouldn’t have to live my forgery
Nor would I disappear into dreams

He says he’s been waiting for hours
But he’s just so glad I’m home
Tomorrow when I stroll through the grounds
Fantasizing through your days
I’ll make a point to dream them just the same
For if you keep his love for my name
Then my reveries are truthful claims
And you’re my ticket home on that train
