Track Insight / Lyrics
Broadsword humming on the slates,
Tarnished knight beneath the fog,
Rail yard shrouded in falling night,
Where dreams go to wither, cold and still.
Faded signs and rusting tracks,
Echoes of a distant past,
Whispers of a lover's touch,
Fade like embers in the grass.
Oh, rail yard requiem, lift your song,
In the mist, where shadows throng,
Of love that's lost, and hearts gone cold,
Your lonely lullaby should be told.
Celtic harpstrings weep and sigh,
Acoustic strings a somber sigh,
Gentle flute a mournful cry,
Raindrops pattering in the sky.
Youthful energy, now but memory,
Passing trains, a constant melody,
Fading light of love's sweet serenity,
In the misty dawn, all dreams set free.
With cello's low and violin's high,
Reel rhythms sway the twilight sky,
In the rail yard, where hearts do lie,
No more ache, but peace to come, and why?
Oh, rail yard requiem, lift your song,
In the mist, where shadows throng,
Of love that's lost, and hearts gone cold,
Your lonely lullaby should be told.
So let the fog descend once more,
And let the silence reign once more,
In the rail yard, where dreams expire,
One final sigh, then fare-thee-well.
