Andrew Word - The Train lyrics

Artist: Andrew Word

album: The Train


Come on boys, we'll see where this road gives up
Blacktop and gasoline, it won't be enough
But I keep shifting into neutral while the river's racing by
Yea I'm sitting in the chamber, locked and loaded, let me fly
You won't forget the quakes, they get in your bones
And I have seen the flames taking cities whole
And all my kings and queens and aces now discarded to the fire
Every dollar, every boardwalk, every ticket on the line
Take all these tokens, I don't need them now
Lay every trophy down in the ground
Now I have heard a sound in my waking dreams
Someone's father was calling out, "here come 819"
Was it the hammer through the floorboards or the rumble of the train
Or the thunder of the engine through the silence of a name
And all these horses, they're rolling on
Tell all the broken, we're going home
Was it the hammer through the floorboards or the rumble of the train
Or the thunder of the engine through the silence of a name
I hear the buzzing of cicadas as the evening starts to fade
The crumbling concrete of empires, they won't even last the day
And every long forgotten story finds the breath of life again
All the hymns below the churchyard find again the tongues of men
And every tear and every stain, every sin be washed away
Every grave will be abandoned, even death will pass away
