Cut through the country, speed through the dark

A child in a train, tristessa departs

It's only the start



Filigree circles round her young wrist

Her mother is frowning at something she missed

She fixes her hair



At the failing of the day she heard her father always say,

"Remember, it's only the start"



When she drifted off to sleep she had the whole world at her feet

Because it's only the start



Before they fell away it seemed to matter all the same

But it was only the start

It's only the start
