GET OFF THE TRACKS

get off the tracks,

get off the tracks.

don’t you know, that they won’t be coming back?

don’t you wait for that whistle to blow, to blow

I cried out in the night, under a warm starry summer sky

cuz I couldn’t catch them, no matter how hard I tried

what’s that ahead?

what’s that ahead?

ooh, your heart will break

if it’s another lonely bend

but you were hoping I know, I know

breathlessly I made it to that front door

their ashes, they fell to the floor

I walked on by that penetrating stare

or maybe they, were just standing there

don’t look behind,

don’t you look behind.

your feet are gonna catch those railroad ties

yeah you better look out below, below!

cuz love in the lion’s den

I was young it’s somewhere I had never been

Yeah the heat it lured me in

sweet, sweet, sweet

cold white moon

cold white moon

why don’t you go on home and make some room?

for the big hot sun to glow, to glow

over the brim and through the briar

my heart, found it’s one desire

fire.
