I was on a song writing break with Boo Hewerdine, Richard Thompson and Iain Archer. Iain was in Snow Patrol and co-wrote Run. He played it to us on acoustic without knowing that 5 months later Leona was going to have a monster Xmas hit with it. I sung a new song A capella and Richard and Iain approved. Boo and I recorded it next day.
Lyrics
Nowhere Bound
Standing in a railway station
One lost weekend afternoon
Ghost train on the track below me
Carries poignant thoughts of you
Waiting behind smoke stained windows
Makes it hard to see the way
Nowhere bound without a sound
Seems I’ll never get away
Nowhere bound for far off places
Nowhere bound from home
Nowhere bound for far off places
Nowhere bound alone
Nowhere bound
Accessed memories whistle by
On static cold steel railway track
Speeding on to destinations
Always forward never back
One day maybe I can jump
Aboard the train that’s nowhere bound
With somewhere people just like me
Somehow we’re all nowhere bound
Nowhere bound for far off places
Nowhere bound from home
Nowhere bound for far off places
Nowhere bound alone
Nowhere bound for far off places
Nowhere bound from home
Nowhere bound for far off places
Nowhere bound alone
Nowhere bound
Nowhere bound
Nowhere bound
