One Passenger


Yes...I'm still here...still climbing...still going through. I fully plan on writing a proper post next week. Until then, here's another song that's been playing non-stop in my head. The man is a poet...MY poet...and has been following me around for the last 35 years and writing songs about my life. I can only hope I can be as cool as he is when I hit 60.

You can hear a snippet of it here along with the rest of his new album "Venus In Overdrive". The man is stalking me I tell you...STALKING me. Hello? Have you heard "Oblivious"...or the ENTIRE "Karma" CD? Rick, honey, just come on in next time you're lurking. Let's collaborate.

One Passenger
Rick Springfield, Matt Bissonette

Undecided over destiny or fate
Undivided under sentimental ways
Undelighted with the thought of happiness
Unrequited, love will lead to loneliness
And I'd like to meet you all alone to ask you why
Why you'd change a worm into a butterfly

When I ride, falling forward on the way
I'm just one passenger aboard this train
When I find the silver lining turns to gray
I'm just one passenger aboard this train

I'm recognizing all that's true and all that's fake
Wrecking bodies, put a flower in its place
Soul surviving, in a pool of emptiness
All this trying, couldn't fill me any less

And I'd love to see you tell me as I wonder why
How you'd change this worm into a butterfly
When I fly, flying faster all the way
I'm just one passenger aboard this train

When I find the silver lining breaks away
I'm just one passenger aboard this train

When I die falling through a somber rain
I'm just one passenger aboard this train

Will I try holding on to yesterday
I'm just one passenger aboard this train
Will I find the silver lining fades away
I'm just one passenger aboard this train
We're all just passengers aboard this train

Undecided, Undivided
I'm just one passenger aboard this train.

Ah, that's what we are! Individuals! What we went through made us who we are. And what we go through makes us who we become. Don't you think?
