Lyrics
RR TRACKS
She sits down by the railroad tracks at daybreak
She sits down by the railroad tracks in shade
hear the locomotion
that would carry her away.
She sits down by the railroad tracks to ponder.
She sits down by the railroad tracks to dream.
with anticipation,
places she has never seen.
REFRAIN: Close your eyes and count to ten,
hold your breath and maybe then, maybe then, maybe then.......
She sits down by the railroad tracks for patience.
She sits down by the railroad tracks to wait
He said that he would be there
Perhaps she?s just too late.
She sits down by the railroad tracks to listen.
She sits down by the railroad tracks to pray
hear the whistle blowing
In a vaguely distant way.
REFRAIN:
She sits down by the railroad tracks so hopeful
She sits down by the railroad tracks and cries
Searching the horizon
Desperation in her eyes.
She sits down by the railroad tracks ?till evening
She sits down by the railroad tracks alone
falls into a dreamsleep
to place that she calls home.
falls into a dreamsleep
to place that she calls home
REFRAIN:
