Shiny Rails Of Steel

Paroles
In the dirty basements of my brain The older of the iron train Steam rise up an opaque cloud And silence breaks like glass beneath the whistle clear and loud And tire rods clank like robots as machinery slowly moves To make it's effort down these shiny rails of steel And through some window passing now I think I see her now looking out Her nose pressed round upon the glass That flickers like a piece of jade as it goes flashing past In dirty coalman coaches sliding out to meet the dawn Beside the stockyards on these shiny rails of steel So I turn myself around and walk along the wet concrete That seems to crack beneath my burden and years of boiler heat Around the mail trucks and the baggage As I drag my shoes and go To find some dismal bench somewhere Within the depots yellow glow Away from salad dripping kitchens from the seems of dining cars That lay like diamonds on these shiny rails of steel Through the speakers of my memory I can hear the sad refrain Call the number of the loading gate to catch the southbound train Her suitcase like a coffin in the creases of my hand Then suddenly I'm all alone with no place else to stand As cars all chunk together and the steps are moved away And shes gone upon these shiny rails of steel
