"The Last Spike" - Cowboy Junkies[00:00:01]

Mornings feel so damn sad these days[00:00:09]

Without the call of the 8:15[00:00:17]

That old familiar echo[00:00:24]

Has finally died away[00:00:27]

Leaving nothing but a chill[00:00:31]

Where there once was a mighty scream[00:00:34]

And I've watched the flat cars[00:00:39]

Take away our timber[00:00:42]

I've watched the coal cars steal our rock[00:00:46]

And now that we've got[00:00:53]

Nothing left to take we're told[00:00:56]

That the wheels will stop turning [00:01:00]

The whistles will stop blowing [00:01:04]

These foolish dreams must stop[00:01:08]

Last year they closed down the post office [00:01:16]

Took the only flag we had in town[00:01:23]

That old brick building[00:01:31]

Still stands like a cenotaph[00:01:33]

To a vision lost and buried in[00:01:38]

A very distant past[00:01:41]

And I've watched the flat cars[00:01:45]

Take away our timber[00:01:49]

I've watched the coal cars steal our rock[00:01:53]

And now that we've got[00:02:01]

Nothing left to take we're told[00:02:04]

That the wheels will stop turning [00:02:07]

The whistles will stop blowing [00:02:11]

These foolish dreams must stop[00:02:15]

The longest train I've ever seen[00:02:22]

Was the train that you were on[00:02:26]

I walked you to the station [00:02:29]

We kissed and you were gone[00:02:33]

I dream at night about you coming home[00:02:36]

The train in the station [00:02:45]

Your uniform on fire[00:02:48]

As you step onto the platform[00:02:52]

The band plays a little louder [00:02:55]

And as we embrace your cap falls off[00:02:59]

Oh I guess these foolish dreams must stop[00:03:06]

Mornings feel so damn sad these days[00:03:15]

Without the call of the 8:15[00:03:22]

Looks like this town is finally[00:03:30]

Going to die away[00:03:33]

Leaving nothing but broken promises[00:03:36]

Where there once was small town dreams[00:03:39]

And I've watched the flat cars[00:03:44]

Take away our timber[00:03:47]

I've watched the coal cars steal our rock[00:03:51]

And now that we've got[00:03:59]

Nothing left to take we're told[00:04:02]

That the TV station will be closing [00:04:05]

Main Street windows will need boarding [00:04:08]

That these foolish dreams must stop[00:04:13]
