Phil Smith - The Train
I went to his funeral put on my suit
Paid my respects then went outside and lit a cigarette
And it was cool that day my sister was there
From what I can recall the sky she seemed clear
But I could be wrong it was 5 long years ago
And later we ate to honour the day
And someone even laughed and mentioned his name
And outside the cars kept driving clear outta sight
Put yr ear to the tracks, and listen for the train
She'll be coming down the line, through the dust and the rain
She'll be coming round the bend, through the fire and the pain
To carry us away
I unlaced my shoes, placed them side by side on the floor
Hung up my suit, by the handle on the back of the door
Laid his silver watch on the bedside chest of drawers
And I prayed just like a believer to the Lord
Down on my knees I prayed just like a believer, to the Lord
I prayed to the Lord
Put yr ear to the tracks, and listen for the train
She'll be coming down the line, through the dust and the rain
She'll be coming round the bend, through the fire and the pain
To carry us away
