Lyrics Omnichord - Pram

Omnichord

And by the railway line
He’s sitting in his old grey coats
And all the people come to ask him questions over again
He gave away his house and clothes
And all the money that he had
The day the last train ran through our town
Some think he’s very wise
But I know otherwise
That man’s a fool
As he’s forgotten life
He’s always cold though the sun might shine
Sits in the same place if it’s grey or fine
Sits where he lost his girl to the railway line
He didn’t love and he couldn’t give
And now he seeks his peace inside
And still he wonders why he feels so cold
In the town where there once were trains
The people hurry to and fro
They think somehow this man can make them happy again
They look for answers in his eyes
They look for answers in the way he sighs
They think somehow sorrow makes you very wise
