Lyrics
hang along the railroad tracks
quiet till the whistel cracks
strong and massive it attacks
while it rushes on
pounding amazing alarm
this mimicking heart of mine
keeping time
riding city streets at dawn
rolling like the litter thrown
street lights changing for no one
just an empty road
signaling ghosts to move along
miles of signals in line
keeping time
it's green, it's yellow then red
it whistles to clear out ahead
and I'm here and likely fit in
solely to watch the spin
of everyday happenings
it's just like me
time keeping
strange light in the photograph
something blured not quite intact
the field was clear through the lense
but at a glance
something quick as light light goes by
something standing by my side
keeping time
