old 97s – old familiar steam lyrics
by the time you leave
i’ll be saving all my green
for a homebound train to carry me
on old familiar steam.
i wish you’d hurry up,
and leave or come around.
well the moon is waning hard tonight.
i ‘m leaving my home town.
and the train rolls on with no pilot.
and the station’s left me i know.
but if you should happen to find it,
please bring it home, bring it home.
i traded all my stops
for a pillow made of rails.
in an empty room i listen to
the lonely whistle wails.
i woke up to feet,
that i took to be your shoes,
and the train lay tracks that deafened me,
shook my insides loose.
and the train rolls on with no pilot,
and the station’s left me i know.
but if you should happen to find it,
please bring it home, bring it home.
and the point of all this living,
is the dying still to come.
and i could be forgiven,
but i just won’t, i just won’t.
(cool don walser yodel & fade out)
