Traveling north, traveling north to find you
Train wheels beating, the wind in my eyes
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
Call out your name love don't be surprised

It's so many miles and so long since I've left you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long

Nothing at all in my head to say to you
Only the beat of the train I'm on
Nothing I've learn, all my life, on the way to you
One day our love was over and gone

It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll say when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long

What will I do if there's someone there with you
Maybe someone you've always known
How do I know I can come and give to you
Love with no warning and find you alone

It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long

It won't be long
It won't be long
It won't be long

I know I'm five years too late, but I'm guessing you heard the original, by Vashti Bunyan, in a Samsung TV ad, which came out in 2011. That version was also in season 2 of True Detective and over the opening credits on Patriot, but those came later, and I'm guessing you didn't have a time machine in 2012.

(For those of you who don't remember, time machines weren't invented until 2023.)

((I found this out on the song comments under the original on YouTube, so thanks to medoras for the singer's name.))

Yes, I'm old enough, but, no, I don't remember the original by Vashti Bunyan.  Because of your comment I had to Wiki Vashti Bunyan and Train Song.  Apparently it had very little radio play, but I've got to tell you I'm impressed with your acute memory and your insightful study of music even back in the 60's.

Very cool
Catchy tune- nice change of pace.
I love RP for finding such fresh  beautiful songs - so refreshing.
Very pretty. I'd love to hear something more upbeat from these two.

You really came to this page first, then asked that question? LOOK UP - UP THERE where all the song/album info is.
came up on my first 'play something else' try...nice
Wow, pretty good, I'd say!  Recognizable voices singing for a good cause, to boot!
