Old Familiar Steam
Lyricist:Kendall Bethea, Murray Hammond, Stewart Miller, Phillip Peeples
By the time you leave I'll be saving all my green For a homebound train to carry me On old familiar steam
I wish you'd hurry up And leave or come around Well the moon is waning hard tonight I'm leaving my hometown
And the train rolls on with no pilot And the station's left me I know But if you should happen to find it Please bring it home, bring it home
I traded all my stops For a pillow made of rails Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com In an empty room I listen to The lonely whistle wails
I woke up to feet That I took to be your shoes And the train lay tracks that deafened me Shook my insides loose
And the train rolls on with no pilot And the station's left me I know But if you should happen to find it Please bring it home, bring it home
And the point of all this living Is the dying still to come And I could be forgiven But I just won't, I just won't
