Columns O' Steam Songtext
von The Lucksmiths

Your dad′s proud face is glowing
As he recommends we buy goggles and flags
All aboard and don't forget your bags
Let′s leave this place behind

And I didn't get you a present
But you don't seem to mind
This party′s leaving soon
And your dad whistles a happy tune

With Belgrave far behind
We passed a house where I spent one Christmas
And I wish we′d brought a camera with us
So I could show my mom some slides
Of this beauty that stretches far and wide
Fields of gold, trees of green


Columns o' steam
Columns o′ steam
Columns o' steam
And it seems
I′m never gonna leave
This day behind
And I don't mind

Your dad′s proud face is glowing
As he pours us all another pot of beer
There's all the food and drink you'd ever want in here
But the train′s about to leave
And your friend has won my heart
But I′m as drunk as I'll ever be
And in her lap I begin to dream

Columns o′ steam
Columns o' steam
Columns o′ steam
And it seems
I'm never gonna leave
This day behind
And I don′t mind

Columns o' steam
