A long time ago came a man on a track[00:02:20]

Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back[00:02:23]

And he put down his load[00:02:27]

Where he thought it was the best[00:02:29]

He made a home in the wilderness[00:02:31]

He built a cabin and a winter store[00:02:38]

And he plowed up the ground by the cold lake shore[00:02:41]

And the other travellers came walking down the track[00:02:46]

And they never went further no[00:02:50]

They never went back[00:02:56]

Then came the churches[00:02:58]

Then came the schools[00:02:59]

Then came the lawyers[00:03:02]

Then came the rules[00:03:04]

Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads[00:03:06]

And the dirty old track[00:03:38]

Was the telegraph road[00:03:42]

Then came the mines[00:03:45]

Then came the ore[00:03:48]

Then there was the hard times[00:03:52]

Like a rolling river [00:03:57]

And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze[00:05:03]

People driving home from the factories[00:05:09]

Six lanes of traffic[00:05:11]

Three lanes moving slow [00:05:14]

I used to like to go to work[00:07:20]

But they shut it down[00:07:21]

I've got a right to go to work[00:07:22]

But there's no work here to be found[00:07:24]

Yes and they say[00:07:26]

We're gonna have to pay what's owed[00:07:27]

We're gonna have to reap[00:07:31]

From some seed that's been sowed[00:07:32]

And the birds up on the wires[00:07:37]

And the telegraph poles[00:07:39]

They can always fly away from this rain and this cold[00:07:41]

You can hear them singing out their telegraph code[00:07:45]

But I remember those nights[00:08:34]

When life was just a bet on a race between the lights[00:08:35]

You had your head on my shoulder[00:08:37]

You had your hand in my hair[00:08:38]

Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care [00:08:43]

But just believe in me baby and I'll take you away[00:08:48]

From out of this darkness and into the day[00:08:50]

From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain[00:08:54]

From the anger that lives on the streets with these names[00:08:55]

'Cos I've run every red light on memory lane[00:08:59]

I've seen desperation explode into flames[00:09:03]

And I don't wanna see it again [00:09:08]

From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed[00:09:15]
