Title:
“Train to Yesterday”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]I hop aboard the train with [C]no destination,
[F]Just a ticket to the past, no [C]hesitation.
[G]The tracks rattle under my [C]feet,
[F]And the rhythm of my heart starts to [C]beat.
(Chorus)
[G]Take me on a train to [C]yesterday,
[F]Where memories lie, and [C]shadows play.
[G]Underneath the starry [C]sky,
[F]I want to live before I [C]die.
(Verse 2)
[G]Each station that we pass is [C]a faded memory,
[F]A glimpse of who we once were, a [C]momentary reverie.
[G]And though the journey’s [C]long,
[F]In our hearts, we carry a [C]song.
(Chorus)
[G]Take me on a train to [C]yesterday,
[F]Where memories lie, and [C]shadows play.
[G]Underneath the starry [C]sky,
[F]I want to live before I [C]die.
(Bridge)
[G]Look out the window, [C]see your reflection,
[F]In the passing lights, find your [C]direction.
[G]Life’s a journey, not a [C]station,
[F]Live it with love, and [C]no hesitation.
(Chorus)
[G]Take me on a train to [C]yesterday,
[F]Where memories lie, and [C]shadows play.
[G]Underneath the starry [C]sky,
[F]I want to live before I [C]die.

Henry Thompson Testimonial:
I’ve been a fan of Past Station since their first album. Their music resonates with me on a deeper level. It’s like they’ve found a way to put into song what I feel but cannot explain. Whenever I listen to their songs, it takes me back to different moments of my life. It’s like revisiting my past but with a comforting message that it’s okay to move on. Their song, “Train to Yesterday,” speaks to my soul. I feel a connection with the band because their music is authentic, honest, and raw. They are, by far, my favorite band and have been instrumental in my life.
