Текст песни
[Куплет 1] The board flips over at platform four A baker in blue checks the time once more A student folds up a city map An old man taps out a tune on his cap I’m headed west with a paper ticket The afternoon shines on the rails like brass A hundred small plans in a hundred hands And every face lets a whole world pass [Предприпев] We trade a nod, we trade a little space Then the train rolls in and we leave without a trace [Припев] Everybody’s going somewhere Past the signs and the sunlit glass Some to start again, some to get back Some just watching the miles go past I don’t know their names, but i know this much: Every road has a story to share On a bright afternoon, we’re all passing through Everybody’s going somewhere [Куплет 2] A woman with a violin case smiles She’s meeting her brother after nine long years A tired young father counts out his change His little girl points at the signal lights A cook in a white coat calls his mother Says, “i’ll be there before the supper’s done” I catch their words in the station’s bustle Then the doors slide shut and the wheels run on [Предприпев] One town behind us, another drawing near For a little while, we’re all right here [Припев] Everybody’s going somewhere Past the signs and the sunlit glass Some to start again, some to get back Some just watching the miles go past I don’t know their names, but i know this much: Every road has a story to share On a bright afternoon, we’re all passing through Everybody’s going somewhere [Бридж] At the next stop, a nurse steps down A boy with a kite boards, laughing out loud The conductor calls, and the whole car sways Strangers for a mile, then a part of the day [Final chorus] Everybody’s going somewhere Past the fields and the sunlit glass Some to start again, some to get back Some just watching the miles go past I don’t know their names, but i’ll carry this: Every road has a story to share On a bright afternoon, we’re all passing through Everybody’s going somewhere [Аутро] The wheels keep time as the afternoon rolls on Everybody’s going somewhere
