aside from an anguished human cry
I've always thought the wail of the train
must be the most woeful sound known to man

how many nights I've wished the dark

 

would pause

to catch the moments of peace

it steals

weaving terrors like whispers of cloth
"wake up you can sleep when you die"

...the train will not wait for me
and I know there'll be no one waiting down the track

and the train will not wait for you

my love

get on...
