When It's Gone It's Gone - Carrie Newcomer[00:00:00]
The New York Central Railroad was something in her day[00:00:11]
A million tons of coal and steel must have passed this way[00:00:16]
The ghost of some old engineer[00:00:21]
Walks this earth and you might hear[00:00:24]
When looking down on all those lights[00:00:26]
"Could I see your ticket please "[00:00:29]
When it's gone it's gone[00:00:38]
But the echoes just go on and on and on[00:00:43]
We send it out like our breath[00:00:48]
And somebody takes it in somebody takes it in[00:00:52]
Someone[00:00:58]
In the age of possibility cheap gas John Glenn and tube TV[00:01:03]
When Martin walked many miles to stand beside Gandhi[00:01:08]
But faith was stoned with cans and rocks[00:01:13]
And the neighbor kid came home in a box[00:01:16]
Now we don't believe so much of everything we hear[00:01:19]
When it's gone it's gone[00:01:30]
But the echoes just go on and on and on[00:01:35]
We send it out like our breath[00:01:40]
And somebody takes it in somebody takes it in[00:01:44]
Someone[00:01:51]
Tomorrow's just too far to see[00:01:55]
To far to know to love or grieve[00:01:57]
Every action is received[00:02:00]
Like a legacy[00:02:03]
It is our legacy[00:02:06]
Route 26 was open fields and I remember when[00:02:31]
Now every town I pass on through[00:02:36]
Has the same outer skin[00:02:39]
How could he sell his father's bones[00:02:41]
The others did but he just won't[00:02:44]
He says "When I am dead you can take it all[00:02:46]
But for now just let them graze "[00:02:49]
When it's gone it's gone[00:02:58]
But the echoes just go on and on and on[00:03:03]
We send it out like our breath[00:03:08]
And somebody takes it in somebody takes it in[00:03:12]
Someone[00:03:18]
When it's gone it's gone[00:03:21]
But the echoes just go on and on and on[00:03:27]
We send it out like our breath[00:03:32]
And somebody takes it in somebody takes it in[00:03:36]
Someone[00:03:42]
