|
Can you hear it cross the valley |
|
Can you hear that mournful sound |
|
I'm riding rails of silver |
|
Going to where i'm bound |
|
High above the fields of clover |
|
On a lazy, hot july |
|
When i get to where i'm going |
|
I'll hold my head up high |
|
I will roll across these mountains |
|
I will take the last train out |
|
Riding rails of silver |
|
Going to where i'm bound |
|
Roses, dust and ashes |
|
Throw them where i lay |
|
And if by chance you see me |
|
There'll be no sorrow on my face |
|
For i will see the beauty |
|
I only wish that you could see |
|
I'll leave my body weakened |
|
I'll leave my soul to wander free, so free |
|
So if you should see a diamond |
|
Fall down from the sky |
|
Its just a teardrop |
|
From the corner of my eye |
|
As good-bye, as i fly |
|
To where i'm bound |
