Seals & Crofts – Silver Rails lyrics

(lyrics and music by James Seals and Brian Whitcomb, 1980)
From the album the longest road (1980).

Silver rails in the sun telling me that she's the only one.

Is it real enough for you? Do you feel enough for you?
Are you moving like a railroad down inside?
Is it good enough for you? Is it good enough for you?
Does it make you feel like howling at the moon?
Life from the top, don't ever stop. Don't let the clock in your mind
Cause you to fail. You're hot on the trail.
Lift up your wings, don't ever change.
Life isn't strange when you lift up the veil. You're hot on the trail.

Do you care enough for me? Do you care enough for me?
I'm a lazy locomotive, yeah that's me.
But I can't love enough for you. And I can love enough for two.
I'll be waitin' at the station, wait and see.

Now where shall we go, how fast, how slow?
Just let me know just where to pick up the rails. I'm hot on the trail.
Hey, watch my smoke, I never choke. We'll go for broke and ride the silver rails.
We're hot on the trail.

Silver rails in the sun telling me that she's the only one.
Silver rails, can't you see? She has come to take a ride with me. (Take a ride with me).

Is it hot enough for you? Is it hot enough for you?
It is worth it to be reckless [wreckless?] in the night?
Is it wild enough for you? Ain't it wild enough for you?
Will it make it to the diary in your life?

Silver rails in the sun telling me that she's the only one.
Silver rails sending out, stretching out. At last she rides with me.
