Ghost In The Music |
Down at the station the tracks are cold |
The wheels of thunder, they roll no more |
And the heart of America cries for the souls |
Who won’t be rollin' home |
The dragon weeps with empty eyes |
The whistle sighs no more in the night … |
It rests in the lines, like a ghost in the music |
The soul of America’s pride |
Toil of our fathers with foreign hands |
They laid the tracks and they opened the plains |
They fought the mountains and they merged our seas |
They set America free |
Tell me,…Where is the blaze of the hobo’s caldron? |
The refuge for these poor and these fallen? |
It rests in the lines, like a ghost in the music |
The soul of America’s pride |
Foreign father… American son, father see what your son has done |
He’s torn up the mountains |
And reshaped the plains |
The dreams he dreams aren’t the same |
To the fallen ones who may still be askin |
«Who'd take time to stir these ashes |
Who’ll hear the lines of a ghost in the music |
And kindle America’s pride?» |
Tell me,… Where is the blaze of the hobo’s caldron? |
The refuge for these poor and these fallen? |
It rests in the lines, like a ghost in the music |
The soul of America’s pride |
