about

Originally an Americana track, "Freight Train" marked my return to writing on piano after many years. A UK friend re-envisioned it. Now a Country Pop song, it speaks to truth, reconciliation and forgiveness, and applies to an intimate relationship as well as a sociopolitical human rights context. We need to be honest with ourselves and each other, to listen, talk, love, accept, respect, move forward together.

lyrics

Your love is like a freight train
Your love is like a freight train
You come in hot and you come in fast
Then I hear your brakes screechin’ on the tracks
Your love is like a freight train

Your love is like a campfire
Your love is like a campfire
Keep me warm through the night
Then you left and took the light
Your love is like a campfire

Is it too late for a conversation?
Is it too late to make amends?
Is it too late to forgive and forget?
Is it too late, is it too late?

Your love is like a landmine
Your love is like a landmine
Laying low, lay in wait
Constant threat to detonate
Your love is like a landmine

Is it too late for a conversation?
Is it too late to make amends?
Is it too late to forgive and forget?
Is it too late, is it too late?

Loving yourself helps, you said
As if I’s the only self-hating one
I said I didn’t need marriage, I wanted a lover and a friend
You said you weren’t lookin’ for love and on that you wouldn’t bend
If I show you how to love again…

Your love is like a shotgun
Your love is like a shotgun
Shoot from the hip, straight to the heart
Forever blown apart
Your love is like a shotgun

Is it too late for a conversation?
Is it too late to make amends?
Is it too late to forgive and forget?
Is it too late, is it too late?
Unless our love is like a phoenix
And we rise above the ash
And we show ‘em a love that lasts
Is it too late, is it too late, is it too late?
