Testo The Last Spike - Cowboy Junkies
Testo della canzone The Last Spike (Cowboy Junkies), tratta dall'album The Radio One Sessions
Mornings feel so damn sad these days
Without the call of the 8:15
That old familiar echo has finally died away
Leaving nothing but a chill where there once was a mighty scream
And I've watched the flat cars take away our timber
I've watched the coal cars steal our rock
And now that we've got nothing left to take, we're told
That the wheels will stop turning
The whistles will stop blowing
That this foolish dream must stop
Last year, they closed down the post office
Took the only flag we had in town
That old brick building still stands like a cenotaph
To a vision lost and buried in a very different past
And I've watched the flat cars take away our timber
I've watched the coal cars steal our rock
And now that we've got nothing left to take, we're told
That the wheels will stop turning
The whistles will stop blowing
That this foolish dream must stop
The longest train I'd ever seen was the train that you were on
I walked you to the station, we kissed and you were gone
I dreamed of nights without you coming home
The train in the station, your uniform on fire
As you stepped onto the platform
The band plays a little louder
And as we embrace, your cap falls off
Oh, I guess this foolish dream must stop
Mornings feel so damn sad these days
Without the call of the 8:15
Looks like this town is finally gonna die away
Leaving nothing but broken promises
Where there once were small town dreams
And I've watched the flat cars take away our timber
I've watched the coal cars steal our rock
And now that we've got nothing left to take, we're told
That the TV station will be closing
Mainstream windows will be boarded
That this foolish dream must stop
