How Long Is This Train - Dan Tyminski[00:00:00]

How long is this train son[00:00:10]

I heard his fragile voice[00:00:13]

I didn't want to listen but there really was no choice[00:00:17]

It seems like it goes on forever[00:00:24]

And I waited for so long[00:00:28]

The old man's breath came slow[00:00:31]

And smelled of whiskey in the dawn[00:00:34]

On a cold November morning[00:00:38]

In the gentle mist of rain[00:00:42]

There's just so many reasons[00:00:46]

That people wait to meet a train[00:00:49]

And as I waited for my sister to[00:00:58]

Come down the metal stairs[00:01:03]

He told me that his son had[00:01:06]

Not been home in fifteen years[00:01:08]

And I barely seemed to notice the tears behind his face[00:01:13]

But his wishes were no[00:01:20]

Strangers to the people in this place[00:01:22]

The old man stood there waiting for[00:01:30]

A young man dressed in blue[00:01:33]

Then he handed him a neatly[00:01:37]

Folded flag and said for you[00:01:39]

He said your son he died[00:01:45]

A hero in the service of this flag[00:01:47]

The old man took it gently put it in his paper bag[00:01:53]

Then I left him in the rain there but I'd still hear his voice[00:02:00]

I try hard not to listen[00:02:08]

But there really is no choice[00:02:10]

On a cold November morning[00:02:17]

In the gentle mist of rain[00:02:19]

There's just so many reasons[00:02:24]

That people wait to meet a train[00:02:27]

How long is this train son[00:02:37]

I can hear the pouring rain[00:02:40]

I'm still reminded of him[00:02:44]

When I hear a passing train[00:02:47]
