====== The Train Home From Con ======
(Note: This song was actually partially written as a group thing on the way back from Norwescon after a filk circle!)

Taking the train home from con
It’s shaking me all the way home from con
and it’s rocking and rolling and pitching and 
groaning
and taking us home from the con


Why do we do this year after year
ten hours on your feet after three hours sleep
and you stand in long lines to get your books 
signed
and the price just goes up every time

But it’s more than the shows and the books and the 
games
it’s the stories we’ve told and the songs that we’ve  sang
it’s the times that we shared and the memories
we made 
and the friends that we met along the way

Chorus

You’ve worked on your costume for weeks months 
or years
and to find the last piece almost brought you to tears
Even if it’s not perfect you gave it your best
So keep that in mind when you look at the rest

Chorus

These are our stories these are our songs
these are the places we feel we belong
so put on your costume stand in that line
If you’ve been here forever or if it’s your very first time

Chorus
