Parts Unknown 
Words and Music By Anne Stott 

I'm riding out on this westbound train 
The sun's setting as the platforms change names 
Seems I'm leaving for parts unknown 
Maybe you left me long ago 

There's a stop I've heard of somewhere down the line 
It's not on a map you won't see a road sign 
The compass you need is on the inside 
The fastest way there ain't a straight line 

I'm riding out on this westbound train 
The sun's setting as the platforms change names 
Seems I'm leaving for parts unknown 
Maybe you left me long ago 

There's a town far away I'm trying to find 
Where days start at midnight and heartbreak's a sign 
Dreams float through the air ready to be learned 
And freedom's free if you can bear the burden 

I'm riding out on this westbound train 
The sun's setting as the platforms change names 
Seems I'm leaving for parts unknown 
Maybe you left me long ago 

There's a city living in my mind's eye 
You can feel it near when dusk hangs in the sky 
When we're not here we'll all be there 
The price of admission, lay yourself bare 

I'm riding out on this westbound train 
The sun's setting as the platforms change names 
Seems I'm leaving for parts unknown 
Maybe you left me long ago
