Ghost Train Songtext / Lyric

I'm sitting here picking the holes in my sneakers

Watching the moves of those midnight creepers

There's a smell of a song, rustling through my head

Something about being somewhere else instead



And the ghost train comes blowing on in, through this town

Picking up the passengers then putting them down

And the wind steals a leaf, like the ghost of a thief

And the autumnal wind blows around and around






Oh those horses of smoke sneaking in through the trees

There's a shaking and a shuddering that goes to my knees

And I wonder what's happening, did I miss the joke

Another year sleeping I never awoke



There was plenty war and plenty of death

Plenty of hunger and wasting of breath

And all I did was scratch myself and dream a few dreams

And I wrote a few notes on what I think it all means



But reading them all now they don't amount to much

There's no meat to eat no flesh to touch

A few dreams of you and a few fish to fry

I just sat there watching another year go by



Oh those horses of smoke sneaking in through the trees

There's a shaking and a shuddering that goes to my knees

And I wonder what's happening, did I miss the joke

Another year sleeping I never awoke
