Railway Ties Songtext
von Great Lakes Myth Society

An empty grey box lies open
On a dusty wooden floor
The clock strikes one
And twenty years are no more

Clouds move across the sky
Glistening white on eggshell blue
I see sunshine outside
But there′s no light in here
What's Rapunzel to do?


Heart on the move
A lump in the throat
Toss your head
And you′re halfway there
Supplying the game
It's only a name
I wouldn't know if I didn′t care

It′s tomorrow today
There's snow on the pane
A wooden floor
A room filled with light
The clock strikes two
And I′m alone with you
Let's call this blessed day a night

And I think of you
As I drink my malt liquor
And I think of you
Sleeping alone on the train
As you pull into Pittsburgh
I′ll be just getting home
To the bed that's so cold without you
