railroad (lyrics by bryan dale. music by dale, haskitt)

the howl of nostalgia and space
rhythms so fast and clear
the flying grace
of pictures painted by sound

of fields and skies and stars
of barns and grass and dew
of peace and still and night
with ends just ending for more

to get on and get off and move on
to stop just to start and roll through
to keep moving and blurring my skin
keep flying and singing so true
to give peace to homes rolled on by
to stop just to start and roll through
to keep moving and blurring my skin
keep flying and singing so true

trains rolling by
the howling of freedom,
of force with purpose
and meaning, but peace

stopped time sped up is beauty
blurred eyes gaze at smooth-lined flight
changing dead gray to smooth steel
and broken homes to charm and countryside

to get on and get off and move on
to stop just to start and roll through
to keep moving and blurring my skin
keep flying and singing so true
to give peace to homes rolled on by
to stop just to start and roll through
to keep moving and blurring my skin
keep flying and singing so true
