K.C. Frogge: Music
Could You Think?

Music and Lyrics by K.C. Frogge
I was inspired to write this while recalling memories of working as a brakeman for Chicago & Northwestern Railroad back in 1980, sitting in a lonely cupelo caboose one dark and snowy night with pen and paper by lanternlight after having been left out in the cold relationship-wise two days after Christmas. Luckily, the melancholy feeling didn't last but at least the song idea did, for over two decades until I finished the song.
On a northward train embarked upon a journey
to a lonely destination, cold and blue
As I sit, I feel the fire of a long but lost desire
and wonder to myself if you feel it too.
Could you think that as I'm staring out the window
that my hand would etch your name upon the pane?
And the frost, it felt as cold
as you looked when I was told
that I'd fallen from your heart like autumn rain.
Could you think that I'd be missing you so badly,
that when I'm with another, I still call your name?
Could you think of all the times I loved you madly,
and think to yourself things couldn't be the same?
Could you think?
I know you've told me several times it's over,
and now it's just too late for us to try.
But I'd quit this traveling far
to be right there where you are,
and we'd know of love instead of wondering why.
Could you think that anyone at all
could love you like I do,
and hold you through the night until the dawn?
Could you even think you'd want me
for a fleeting, silent moment?
Oh baby, can't you see...
if you've no need for me,
I'll be moving on...
moving on...
Could you think?
