I snuck upon a train, and through the rain
I heard a trailing police siren
And yet a hopeful moon I rattled under
Through the towers, smoke, and ruin
I've got a future planned a dozen acres
Of the sweetest serene land
A smart and pretty girl who through a meadow
Every day and night I'll twirl
Hold me now
I've felt a little lost in the big world lately
Help me out, or try
And such a family I will father over
Thanking god for wrongs she'll right
And when I die, they'll linger sad and long
All my good friends will sow my body singing love songs
Hold me now
I've felt a little lost in the big world lately
Help me out, or try
Paris and Haiti, the pretty Euphrates, I'll see them all
You can only be beaten so long
I'm meek now
Soon I'm gonna be oh so tall
Under a rail bridge: a shadow chorus
With its faces barrel-lit
A lonesome whistle blew
A little cloud went unwanted toward the moon
Hold me now
I've felt a little lost in the big world lately
Help me out, or try
