(i.e. begin?, we're in?, forget? win?) Unfortunately, I think it's this word that's key to undertanding the ending of the song/story. Any ideas what this word/phrase is?) "In a Boxcar" by David Wilcox ----------- In a boxcar in the moonlight, In the open in the place. You are sleeping on my jacket And I'm waiting for a change. When it started at a crossing Down the valley from your home. In the morning we'll be missing, We'll be rolling, well be gone When your parent's ultimatum, Made it easy to decide We went running to the river To say good-bye. We heard something come a rolling Rolling slowly for a change In the boxcar, it was so easy It was so perfect. It was strange. But we trusted in the moments For the timing to begin And we held on to the handle And we (were in?) (forget?) (win?). In a boxcar, in the moonlight, In the open, on a plane. You are sleeping on my jacket And I'm waiting for a change And I'm waiting for a change -- Randy Rohrer | "That's a Major Powell Sky!"
