Ghost Train |
There’s a light in the darkness |
Just barely out of view |
From the corner of your vision |
It beckons to you |
After the crops have all come in |
Amid the stubble and the chaff |
Keep on walkin' when it whispers |
And don’t look back |
Some say it’s the Ghost Train’s headlights |
Or poor Wayland Smiths' pyre |
Some say it’s the will o' the wisp |
Or St. Elmo’s fire |
Or the ghost of wanderin' spirits |
That got lost between the worlds |
Keep on walkin' when they whisper |
Or if the lines begin to blur |
When it’s done, it’s said and done |
When it’s gone, it’s good and gone |
Sometimes there’s nothin' left to do |
But pack it up and move along |
I’m not sayin' I don’t remember |
Or that all things can be repaired |
But after the truth has been told |
Where do we go from there? |
Sorrow is a constant companion |
We just learn to walk beside |
Keep walkin' when it whispers |
And don’t listen when it lies |
When it’s done, it’s said and done |
When it’s gone, it’s good and gone |
Sometimes there’s nothin' left to do |
But pack it up and move along |
There are stories we are told |
Just to keep us in our place |
There are stories we made up ourselves |
To save a little face |
There’s are ones that made us crazy |
And ones that kept us sane |
Keep on walkin' if the stories |
All start to sound the same |
When it’s done, it’s said and done |
When it’s gone, it’s good and gone |
Sometimes there’s nothin' left to do |
But pack it up and move along |
When it’s done, it’s said and done |
When it’s gone, it’s good and gone |
Sometimes there’s nothin' left to do |
But pack it up and move along |
Sometimes there’s nothin' left to do |
But pack it up and move along |
Sometimes there’s nothin' left to do |
But pack it up and move along |
