Ghost Train - Carrie Newcomer

There’s a light in the darkness

Just barely out of view

From the corner of your vision

It beckons to you

After the crops have all come in

Amid the stubble and the chaff

Keep on walkin' when it whispers

And don’t look back

Some say it’s the Ghost Train’s headlights

Or poor Wayland Smiths' pyre

Some say it’s the will o' the wisp

Or St. Elmo’s fire

Or the ghost of wanderin' spirits

That got lost between the worlds

Keep on walkin' when they whisper

Or if the lines begin to blur

When it’s done, it’s said and done

When it’s gone, it’s good and gone

Sometimes there’s nothin' left to do

But pack it up and move along

I’m not sayin' I don’t remember

Or that all things can be repaired

But after the truth has been told

Where do we go from there?

Sorrow is a constant companion

We just learn to walk beside

Keep walkin' when it whispers

And don’t listen when it lies

When it’s done, it’s said and done

When it’s gone, it’s good and gone

Sometimes there’s nothin' left to do

But pack it up and move along

There are stories we are told

Just to keep us in our place

There are stories we made up ourselves

To save a little face

There’s are ones that made us crazy

And ones that kept us sane

Keep on walkin' if the stories

All start to sound the same

When it’s done, it’s said and done

When it’s gone, it’s good and gone

Sometimes there’s nothin' left to do

But pack it up and move along

When it’s done, it’s said and done

When it’s gone, it’s good and gone

Sometimes there’s nothin' left to do

But pack it up and move along

Sometimes there’s nothin' left to do

But pack it up and move along

Sometimes there’s nothin' left to do

But pack it up and move along
