Golden Train-- Justin Nozuka

Justin Nozuka is probably my favorite musician, and I was listening to one of his songs called Golden Train and it reminded me of Jane and Rochester's story.  Below are the lyrics and the song so you can listen to it also.  In gold I have the part that connects to Jane Eyre.


Don't you wake up yet
Give me some time to watch you asleep
Oh angel of mine
And I
I will be fine
As long as your near me
(Both are happier together; Jane thinks of Rochester when she is away from him.)
Oh angel of mine

But tomorrow if a Golden Train came to take you away
(Golden Train Resembling Jane's ethical decision she made to leave Rochester)
Would you go or would you stay?  
(Also Jane continually questioning her self to leave or stay at Thornfield)                              
Tomorrow if a Golden Train came to take you away      
Would you go or would you stay?

Here in this cozy room just me and you
(The room with the fireplace where Jane and Rochester were alone a lot together)
Oh cuddling and kissing making sweet love shooting star wishing and watch the sun come up
And then we'll sleep all day
Meet in our dreams and live life our way
(Meet in our dreams like the calling Jane heard from Rochester.)
(Live life our way, meaning not caring about the social class.) 
Drop it all off and we'll fly away 
Dip through the stars and wake up slowly

But tomorrow if a Golden Train came to take you away
Would you go or would you stay?
Tomorrow if a Golden Train came to take you away
Would you go or would you stay?

One thing I know fore sure                                                   
Is my love for you is deeper then any root or stone mamma told me
(Deeper than any root reminded me of the lightning struck tree that symbolized their love and Rochester himself)
So don't walk the streets alone (x2)
(Don't walk the streets alone, meaning that women should be married in the late 1800's)                                                                                                                                
I said
Tomorrow if a Golden Train came to take you away
Would you go or would you stay?
Tomorrow if a Golden Train came to take you away
Would you go or would you stay?

Heey hey
Ooh, oh
Would you go or would you stay?

But tomorrow if a Golden Train came to take you away
Would you go or would you stay?
Tomorrow if a Golden Train came to take you away
Would you go or would you staay.. with me

  2. Jacie, you are like a pro blogger. Your posts are always so interesting. I like this song a lot too. It totally connects to Jane and Rochester. I wouldn't have ever figured that out myself..
