Two trains ran on parallel tracks all across the country.
Although they never crossed, they came close in
Sacramento, Oakland, Lousianna, and Oregon.
A pair of twins that were born together,
Grew up together,
And slept in adjacent beds,
Are still trying to separate themselves
Amidst other’s confusion of the two.
A young couple loves
So strongly that they can’t be separated by
Four thousand miles of water.
Another two don’t love each other at all,
But are bound by
Bills for things like water.
Two paths still diverge in a yellow wood and
A purple wood.
Two nations fight in rivalry but forget the reason they started.
The Two of us are here today and with each other.
