Tracks

Da, da, dum.
Da, da, dum.
Thump, thump.

Da, da, dum.
Da, da, dum.
Thump, thump.

Da, da, dum.
Da, da, dum.
Thump, thump.

Da, da, dum.
Da, da, dum.
Thump, thump.

It moves through the day.
Cutting aside the countryside.
Onward towards a certain future.
In rhythm, in rhythm, with the rails...

Da, da, dum.
Da, da, dum.
Thump, thump.

Da, da, dum.
Da, da, dum.
Thump, thump.

Taking us to or from - somewhere.

Da, da, dum.
Da, da, dum.
Thump, thump.

The rail calls us.
Say's it's time to move on.
Ticket your soul,ticket your soul, ticket your soul and ride!

Da, da, dum.
Da, da, dum.
Thump, thump.

Da, da, dum.
Da, da, dum.
Thump, thump......

Out-a Time

The river gurgles, rushes.
With early melt.

I stand on its banks.
Observing this flow of time.

Keenly aware;
Water runs deep.

Like veins.
Pumping a thinner blood.

Bringing back a childhood memory.
Long lost.

Covered in this grayness
Called age.

I’m like a thawed caveman – awakened
I stand out of time.

I belong to it
I do not.

Time has passed me by as I watched
And now it’s far too late….
