This Train

Thought i heard a distant train,chugglin' through the rain
Way back around a bend in my mind
Thought i heard a hobo sing,about the heartaches love can bring
Echoeing down that forgotten delta line

This train,pushing through my foggy memories
I hear the whistle i see the smoke bellowing black
This train,is an iron ghost riding on past me
On these silver rails of yesterday,never coming back

Thought i heard a distant train,rumblin' it's sad refrain
As it passes by the briar filled potters ground
It lays down a lonesome whistle,to the crosses of the nameless
Who's journey's end was never found

This train,pushing through my foggy memories
I hear the whistle,i see the smoke bellowing black
This train,is an iron ghost riding on past me
On these silver rails of yesterday,never coming back

And this train,rolls on forever in my mind
And this train,takes it farther down the line
And this train,doesn't forget to blow as it passes me
One last time

This train,pushing through my foggy memories
I hear the whistle,i see the smoke bellowing black
This train,is an iron ghost riding on past me
On these silver rails of yesterday,never coming back

HiDee CycleGuy!

Darn Good Train Song, Amigo!

Lemmie Mess wit a Few Lines, All KOS:

"Thought I heard a Hobo sing 'bout heartaches love can bring/
Echoed down that long-forgotten Delta line"

"I hear a whistle, see smoke billowing black"

"On silver rails of yesterday, never coming back"

"Passing by a briars-filled..potter's ground/
Lays down a somber whistle to the crosses of the nameless/
Whose Journey's End is hidden, rarely-found"

Overall, Fine Job, Amigo!
KOS the Sugs/Good Luck with This One!

Best Wishes & a Big Guy-Hug,
Stan

Hi Michael,

You have some very cool lines in here. I have one suggestion if I may;

And this train,rolls on forever in my mind
And this train,track takes it farther down the line
And this train,doesn't forget to blow as it passes me
One last time

Nice lyric.
