Coming And Going On Easy Terms Lyrics - Singles - John Vanderslice

Window seats on bullet trains 

Smear land into sky 

Fear and sorrow coalesce 

Now Im trying to find that quiet place 

Where living is breathing 

Not knowing is understanding 

Coming is going but my heart 

Just beats faster and faster 

They asked for me to come 

And identify my son 

But my son is alive 

The life that whispered in my ear 

Is gone, gone, gone 

Window seats, commuter trains 

Send me headlong 

Trying to find that quiet place 

Where living is breathing 

Not knowing is understanding 

Coming is going but my heart 

Just beats faster and faster 

They asked for me to come 

And identify my son 

But my son is alive 

In maharishi oblivion 

The love that counted back 

From ten is gone gone gone 

Fear and sorrow coalesce 

Now Im trying to find that quiet place 

Where living is breathing 

Not knowing is understanding 

Coming is going but my heart 

Just beats faster and faster 

When I got down to the morgue 

They pulled back the slab 

It wasn't my son 

I wasn't his dad 

They covered him up 

I smiled, I smiled 

The past is cities from a train 

Now Im trying to find that quiet place 

Where living is breathing 

Not knowing is understanding 

Coming is going but my heart 

Just beats faster and faster
