Between Us

Took a midnight train



Headed way back east



Left behind some pain



In hopes of finding some peace



Fortunately caught one



Bound for my old neighborhood



Either way, between us, it's good



They're building a bridge



Links Manhattan with the heartland



It's called the California ridge



The country needs to expand



Saw them lay the first stone



It was made of wood



Either way, between us, it's good



In an age of greys



When wrong won't become right



Let's lift the haze



And scale the heights



Set my shoulders straight



Took a deep breath



This meeting I anticipate



Unlike impending death



Strode on to the platform



And there you stood



At worst, between us, it's good
