Mutton Birds Like This Train
(Don McGlashan) I never thought that it would come to this To watch myself leaving you behind But you went to great lengths to clear my way And like this train, you'll take a long, long time To reach the end of the line Like I did Like I did The farms and the rivers slide away out there These towns all look like our home town No one could blame you for getting out of there But like this train, you'll take a long, long time To reach the end of the line Like I did Like I did You say they'll change in time We won't feel so strange, but I I don't believe you I don't believe you The power lines are dancing overhead The wind is shaking up the trees I wish I'd known how I could have made you see But like this train, you'll take a long, long time To reach the end of the line Like I did Like I did Like this train, you'll take a long, long time To reach the end of the line Like I did Like I did Like this train Like this train Like this train
