When It's Gone It's Gone |
The New York Central Railroad was something in her day |
A million tons of coal and steel must have passed this way |
The ghost of some old engineer |
Walks this earth and you might hear |
When looking down on all those lights |
«Could I see your ticket please?» |
When it’s gone it’s gone |
But the echoes just go on and on and on |
We send it out like our breath |
And somebody takes it in, somebody takes it in |
Someone |
In the age of possibility, cheap gas, John Glenn and tube TV |
When Martin walked many miles to stand beside Gandhi |
But faith was stoned with cans and rocks |
And the neighbor kid came home in a box |
Now we don’t believe so much of everything we hear |
When it’s gone it’s gone |
But the echoes just go on and on and on |
We send it out like our breath |
And somebody takes it in, somebody takes it in |
Someone |
Tomorrow’s just too far to see |
To far to know to love or grieve |
Every action is received |
Like a legacy |
It is our legacy |
Route 26 was open fields and I remember when |
Now every town I pass on through |
Has the same outer skin |
How could he sell his father’s bones |
The others did but he just won’t |
He says «When I am dead you can take it all |
But for now just let them graze.» |
When it’s gone it’s gone |
But the echoes just go on and on and on |
We send it out like our breath |
And somebody takes it in, somebody takes it in |
Someone |
