Heavy Trains
My Life has been a song of heavy trains,
not rails or trams that ride below the street.
A move that in your gut of gut does reign
as you sense the force to come down in your feet.
My life has been the song of steel on steel
and trains have carried tired heads held high.
As they approached I heard the air brakes squeal
and at that sound I felt my hopes were nigh.
My heart has oft been stirred by a train’s roar
the sound of which fired love up in my breast.
These trains move on and then are seen no more
and leave to show this love was not the best.
I know quite well the song of heavy trains,
whose whistles wail of woe and loss and pain.
