lirik lagu dan tyminski - how long is this train
how long is this train son
i heard his fragile voice
i didn’t want to listen but there really was no choice
it seems like it goes on forever and i waited for so long
the old man’s breath came slow and smelled of whiskey in the dawn
on a cold november morning in the gentle mist of rain
there’s just so many reasons that people wait to meet a train
and as i waited for my sister to come down the metal stairs
he told me that his son had not been home in fifteen years
and i barely seemed to notice the tears behind his face
but his wishes were no strangers to the people in this place
the old man stood there waiting for a young man dressed in blue
then he handed him a neatly folded flag and said for you
he said your son he died a hero in the service of this flag
the old man took it gently put it in his paper bag
then i left him in the rain there but i’d still hear his voice
i try hard not to listen but there really is no choice
on a cold november morning in the gentle mist of rain
there’s just so many reasons that people wait to meet a train
how long is this train son
i can hear the pouring rain
