Ghost Train

Carrie Newcomer - Ghost Train

Theres a light in the darkness just barely out of view
From the corner of your vision it beckons to you.
After the crops have all come in amid the stubble and the chaff
Keep on walking when it whispers and dont look back.
Some say its the Ghost Trains headlight or poor Wayland Smiths pyre
Some say its the Will o the Wisp or St. Elmos fire,
Or the ghost of wandering spirits that got lost between the worlds.
Keep on walking when they whisper or if the lines begin to blur.
[02:31.71][01:46.40][01:00.96]When its done its said and done.
[02:34.79][01:49.79][01:04.57]What its gone its good and gone.
[02:59.93][02:53.50][02:39.79 ][01:54.16][01:09.05]Sometimes theres nothing left to do,
[03:03.02][02:56.81][02:42.89][01:57.57][01:12.56]But pack it up and move along.
Im not saying dont remember or that all things can be repaired
But after the truths been told where do we go from there?
Sorrow is a constant companion we learn just to walk beside.
Keep walking when it whispers and dont listen when it lies.
There are stories we were told just to keep us in our place.
There are stories we made up ourselves to save a little face.
There the ones that made us crazy and the ones that kept us sane,
Keep on walking if the stories all start to sound the same.
