Airport Troubadour 
Music and lyrics by Matthew Marren 
Copyright 2017 matthewmarrenmusic 

Airport Troubadour……….just past security 
He’s like you and me…….he just wants to see people smile 
Some songs mournful, just like this grey afternoon 
Others sunshine in a sweet uplifting tune 

 

Folks pretend to not to notice him here, but notice they do 
When a passing chord will touch them when they’re quickly rushing 
right through 
The melody and singer’s soul, will soon rise and fall 
As the guitar and vocal bounces off the terminal wall 

 

Newstand, coffee shop, baggage belt 
It’s hard to measure just the way I felt when you 
Disappeared through the customs door..my heart fell through the floor 
It all came back to me, in a song 
It’s like I never left you here along the queue 
Of travelers waiting to….board a plane to somewhere new 
This song’s for me and you 

 

So many flights delayed by weather…..but whether or not 
If it’s here you are caught, you’ll be listening for a while 
I was once just like him, with a six-string and popular songs 
But as the time will pass, it will be time to move it along 

 

Folks pretend to not to notice him here, but notice they do 
When a passing chord will touch them when they’re quickly rushing 
right through 
The melody and singer’s soul, will soon rise and fall 
As the guitar and vocal bounces off the terminal wall 

 

This airport troubadour you once knew 
Will sing this one just for you

My Train Song 

Lyrics and Music by Matthew Marren 

Copyright 2008 matthewmarrenmusic 

Intro 1: 

Verse 1: 

So many have their train songs- I guess that this is mine 

And like the train you’re waiting for- I hope that it’s on time 

Some are minor some major key 

Sometimes the latter still seem sad to me 

I dream of the wheels and the way it will feel to be taken back home and how 

I wake to the rumble out of bed I will tumble the train’s pulling in and now 

it’s a quarter to three 

Intro 2: 

Verse 2: 

You can hear the wailing whistle- when the wind becomes easterly 

And when you’re a diesel tumbleweed forever there’s a place to be 

For every loved one coming home picked up down the line 

There’s a lonely lover on a station platform far behind 

A journey that’s started and for some broken-hearted 

the sound of train is heard 

For some it’s tragic and for others it’s magic 

Doesn’t matter who waits and listens 

and do you know the words 

Bridge: 

Of the song I sing 

About a country that was tied by the winding steel 

And the way of life it brings 

And the patriots taken from their homes and loved ones 

And some returned to sing 

The praises-  of what the train could bring  (Solo on intro): 

Verse 3: 

The next time you hear the wailing whistle- and the clock says quarter to three 

You can think of my train rolling down the rails 

From here to the distant sea 

And think about the ones who tried 

To lay ties and steel through the prairie and mountain 

And those who died 

I dream of the wheels and the way it will feel to be taken- far and wide 

I wake to the rumble out of bed I will tumble 

My train’s pulling in and now-  it’s time to ride (bridge solo)
