Railroad Earth Long Walk Home
Steaks are in the meadow
Fields are overgrown
Winds of change are blowing through
The place that I've called home
They're digging at the edges
To build the power line
Same old stories
But now the story's mine
So lets build a fire and throw in
The papers in the past
No need to try and save it now
It's never gonna last
It's a starry night
The moon is bright
Lets call the old owl in
Let him know we're leaving
Say goodbye old friend
Goodbye to the years here
They've flown
Goodbye to the only
Home I've known
The wheels of the world
Are rolling through
And if the door is closing
I guess im running too
Fourteen years my family
Walked these crooked floors
Forty years before my father
Opened up the doors
Stony stand it all began
Three hundred years before
What story id beginning
If this one is no more
Goodbye to the years here
They've flown
Goodbye to the only
Home I've known
The wheels of the world
Are movin' on
And if the door is closing
I guess it's time I'm gone
Feels like a wave that can't be stopped
A coming day my heart will drop
Feels like a war that won't be won
Without a gun
So goodbye bird and bear
Goodbye tree and land
Goodbye to all i know like on the back of my hand
I walk the grounds and make the rounds
Of this place I've loved so well
Fire up the diesel
In a last lone croft farewell
Goodbye to the years here
They've flown
Goodbye to the only
Home I've known
The wheels of the world
Are rolling through
And if the door is closing...
Goodbye to the years here
They've flown
Goodbye to the only
Home I've known
The wheels of the world
Are turning fast..
Goodbye to the years here
They've flown
Goodbye to the only
Home I've known
The wheels of the world
Are movin' on
And if the door is closing
I guess it's time I'm gone
