Lyrics Surrendering the Ghost - Chamberlain

Surrendering the Ghost

In the engine hymn of this evening’s train
I thought I heard your name
And in the whistle’s refrain of this evening’s train
I swore I heard your name
I remembered keeping mad hours in the night
Under an honest sky when the world’s shadow
Stood side-by-side and so did you and I
Like a bashful boy to shudder from a ray of light, a coward by design
While across this crowded town there’s a girl who bleeds
From open wounds and an open heart
That’s a feeling that I can’t afford, I’ve been in the dark too long
