Trains

There’s a haunting sound of the train on the tracks
Constantly rolling down the line, Then races right back


That Chug a chug a sound
rolling on thin metal, shaking the ground


the train car loaded with the grain
causing the echoing of that sad refrain


The whistle blows as she goes moving along
shattering the silence in the nearby home


the train keeps rushing, rushing but never flies
Never anytime time for a proper goodbye

When her whistle screams into the night
it always causes an unexpected fright


Move on big freight train. I see you out my windowpane
I always stop and watch as you pass by my lane
