Mango Train

[Verse 1]
You had a red scarf on
At the market by the river
We stole two green mangoes
And laughed like we were bigger
Your shoes got dust on them
Mine got mud on the heel
We chased the last cart home
Like that could make it real

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the road turned gold
And the air got slow
You said, “Keep up now”
So I said, “Go, go, go”

[Chorus]
Ride, ride, mango train
Take me back again
Ride, ride, mango train
Don’t let this moment end
(ride, ride, mango train)
We were wild and small
In the rain, in the rain
Ride, ride, mango train

[Verse 2]
I woke with sand on my wrists
And a song in my teeth
Your name on the windows
Faded back into sleep
There was a blue canoe
Tied up to the pier
And you on the far side
Saying, “Come here, come here”

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the sky lit up
Like a match in the dark
You reached for my hand
And I ran with your spark

[Chorus]
Ride, ride, mango train
Take me back again
Ride, ride, mango train
Don’t let this moment end
(ride, ride, mango train)
We were wild and small
In the rain, in the rain
Ride, ride, mango train

[Bridge]
If it was a dream
Don’t wake me yet
I still taste that mango
On your sunburnt neck
If it was a memory
Keep it close, keep it near
I’d follow that river
If you were still here

[Final Chorus]
Ride, ride, mango train
Take me back again
Ride, ride, mango train
Don’t let this moment end
(ride, ride, mango train)
We were wild and small
In the rain, in the rain
Ride, ride, mango train
(ride, ride, mango train)
