If You Thought that the Rails Were Forever

 

E                                                                          E

When all the inspiration has been dragged from these tracks

 

B7                                  E               

The line will be empty and the steel rail cracked

 

 

When all the hobos have been here and gone

 

B7                                  A                        E 

All that’s left a sleepers and no one journeys home

 

 

A                                                     E

*And if you thought that the rails were forever

 

A                               E

That’s in distance but not time

 

F#m                    F#m

For gone are the old steam Engines

 

A                               E               

Now everything has been streamlined

 

*

 

When all the Inspiration disappears behind the bend

 

The travelling will be over the journey at an end

 

When all the miles are finished we will be in the border fel

 

Remembering the old steam engines and the tale their whistles tell

 

*

 

When all the inspiration disappears from the line

 

The train wheels will rusty the time table out of time

 

When all the silver steam clouds fly away to the sky

 

The fire boxes will be empty the signals block the line

 

 

 

*
