A Buried Message

There's a message
I've been trying to send
It's post marked n mailed

I've gotta get that message
Through to you

A train is funny thing
So confined to move
Along it's winding rails

There's this train
I've sent you a message
And I need this train to get thru

There's a message
I've been trying to send
It's post marked n mailed

I've gotta get that message
Through to you
Cause I need u to know of love

A heart is a funny thing
So out of control at times
Doesn't know what it wants

This heart has spilled
And it's in a letter
I hope it's on it's way to you

There's a message
I've been trying to send
It's post marked n mailed

I've gotta get that message
Through to you
Cause I need u to know of love

A heart can grow so cold
If love is left untold
And so I wrote this note

I heard the news today
What happened to that train
It won't reach it's destination

That train going thru a tunnel
The ground caved in
Trapped in the darkness

I just pray my heart
Will not stay trapped
Like my letter has been

There's a message
I've been trying to send
It's post marked n mailed

I've gotta get that message
Through to you
Cause I need u to know of love

Cause I need you
I love you
And I just want to
Let you know

Cause train cars and letters
Can't describe
Everything that's inside

This message I've sent to you
I've been trying to send for some time
I've gotta get that message through
Cause I need you to know

What good is it to live
If you don't let your heart love
So this message
I entrust to you
Baby, I love you.

This is not written about a specific girl. It is more a song about a man who never told a girl how he felt. He sent his letter on a train, and that train was trapped in a mountain tunnel. He pured out his heart in that letter, is now not sure if his heart will ever send that message again.
