lyrics
Your transport arrives in the morning
so you best get up before the sun hits
sun will come with no warning the sun will always come
and don’t look back till you’re on the track
get yourself ready and your bags all packed
lock the door close the blinds hide the view
and leave all you can behind you.
I will meet you by the train station
you will know me by a blue carnation,
ill make the sign of the cross as the morning train it docks
so don’t leave with no hesitation,
your safety I can guarantee
you’ll have you own house your own key be like your brand new
and leave all you can behind you.
Your old skies have become new; your old lovers are through.
You chop wood to keep us warm in winter
I hunt out in the forest but you get thinner
I write my book I read a few but nothing makes me happier than you with your head looking out of the window
I stamp on my feet as you play piano
it’s a melody we both can sing its old but it rings through
and it makes you sad for what you left behind
and now your eyes are on the road and not on mine
they’ll catch you for the crimes you have done
they will catch you they will catch you.
