Slow Moving Train |
I was standing out back as the sun sank on down. |
I was thinking to myself about a long distant sound, |
How the fury and the flame burned so bright |
Then blew out and left town on a slow moving train. |
On a slow moving train, from the West to the East, |
With the hopes of a nation of salvation and peace, |
All the people came out and they stood by the tracks, |
As the slow moving train took him back. |
It was the end of the road of a time and a place, |
The end of a dream and sweet youth’ssmiling face, |
The beginning of a lesson we’re still learning today, |
Since he left on the slow moving train. |
On that slow moving train, as he rested in peace, |
'cross the mountains and plains from the sea to the sea, |
All the peoplecame out, the men took off their hats, |
As that slow moving train took him back. |
I wonder where would we be, if the bullets had failed, |
If the young men with dreams had somehow prevailed, |
Just a shot from the darkness and the whole world was changed, |
They sent him home on a slow moving train. |
On a slow moving train, from the West to the East, |
With the hopes of a nation of salvation and peace, |
All the people came out and they stood by the tracks, |
As the slow moving train took him back. |
He went home on that slow moving train. |
