lyrics

beneath the bridge all safe and warm
that keeps him sheltered from the storm
he greets the sun far across the sea
and when this town has no more to give
he can hop another train and live
ever after happily

cause there's nothing like seeing what's next in line
leaving the past behind
moving on to something
but like a hobo when there's no more trains
what do you do with the longing that remains?

when the mother's cradle song of peace
can sit with justice at the feast
like some folks say
they're supposed to do

will hype and hope be satisfied
will we say that it was worth the ride
that final thing
we were traveling to

cause there's nothing like reaching that final stage
and finding you were right to cling to something
but while you're singing those sweet refrains
what do you do with the longing that remains?

there's nothing like hope
there's nothing like love
there's nothing like putting your faith in something
I've never tasted such fine champagne
but what do I do with the longing that remains?
