Is This How The Story Ends?
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
You don’t know me
But I see you every day by the train
You stand in line
While everyone gets in your way
All the time
A Smile or wink that’d make you
hope for better days
Drowned in rain
It’s just another train passing by
Don’t think too much about it
Don’t think too much about it
All these words suppressed in silence
for all these years
Keep pushing out
Running through your veins and
haunting you to tears
Then fading out
It’s just another train passing by
Don’t think too much about it
Don’t think too much about it
Another train passing by
It’s just another train passing by
Don’t think too much about it
Trains may come and go
Steam through stations in a book you know
Scratching lines or tearing pages
Changing the script and ruin the show
You can Smile as you walk on stage
For you know the end has been
written long ago
Dream beyond the Headlines
Don’t let them weave the threads of your life
A child lived in your heart
And the door was left wide open
Free to pursue the art
And all your dreams were stolen
The seal has been broken
And the mission forgotten in time
Protests in the streets
As you lay down under the cover
No shoes on your feet
But it doesn’t really matter
The pathways to your dreams
Will lead them to the tower
When defeat comes,
Accept the defeat
But never surrender power
Under the carpet snakes crawl
They seem to know who you are
It’s the same dream that keeps you
awake until dawn
It’s all over the news
Like reading the same old chapter
Stand up, escape from this room
One cannot hide forever
We all have freedom to choose
Only if we know what we are after
Trains may come and trains may go
Departing every hour
Under the carpet snakes crawl
Pushing you back to the wall
It’s the same dream that keeps you
awake until dawn
You wake up in a world
Where every dream is coming true
Pure design or make belief
It’s all there for you to choose
Strange shadows crawl behind
As you slowly make your move
A distant train staggers your mind
You know this dream was made for you
But you were not invited
Stealing dreams
Stealing dream of a lifetime
You’d pay whatever the price
To cross the bridge over the blue
The cost is soaring high
This Promised Land was never true
Just a few more miles
Hoping to finally get your due
Faceless guests sipping the wine
From a dream that’s made for you
But you were not invited
Stealing dreams
Stealing dreams of a lifetime
You don’t know me still you see me everyday
By the train
I stay behind and let you go on with your day
All the time
A wink or smile and my last dream is washed away
Far away
It’s just another train passing by
It’s just another train passing by
Don’t think too much about it
I hear the sound of old trains gone by
From trees, like ghosts waving goodbye
And steam vanishing through the mountainside
I’m here with one last ticket to ride
Waiting alone, still no lights in sight
Have I missed the train or have I arrived?
Or is this how the story ends?
When the last word’s been sang
And the last note’s been played
When finally the curtain falls
Is this how the story ends?
Wandering souls never die
Travellers from different time
This train is heading straight to the other side
Into the mist tracing the railway lines
Do not insist, you’ll know before your time
This train is just passing through
this dream of mine
And this is how the story ends
Oh this is how the story ends

One of my favourite Mystery songs. Which is a huge compliment as all their tracks are fantastic but this has overtaken Chrysalis as my favourite. So many fantastic tunes in their catalog. Michel (and the rest of Mystery) you are a musical genius's. Best wishes Stu in Australia......

Might be the singer, or a bit of everything, but I get the Triumph early days (Lay It on the Line) vibe with this song. Either way well done, and the Triumph quote Is a complement.
