Traintime - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]
Written by:Peter Hammill[00:00:00]
Along the track the wires are humming[00:00:37]
In bursts of code like far off drums[00:00:43]
Fathering the message[00:00:50]
Further up the line[00:00:54]
Someone's shouting[00:00:57]
Down the passage of time[00:01:00]
The corridor restrains the window[00:01:09]
No view without the eye within[00:01:14]
Bold upon the threshold[00:01:21]
But holding on the line[00:01:25]
We're shouting[00:01:29]
Down the passage of time[00:01:31]
Relatives speak on the phone on the train[00:01:41]
Talking before they have thought to explain[00:01:46]
Voices pitched wildly on tracks in the night[00:01:52]
Can't pick the pace up[00:01:58]
Oh let there be light[00:02:00]
How light becomes the soul[00:02:06]
You know yourself the centre of attention[00:02:16]
You see yourself the locus of event[00:02:22]
I'm sorry if it's painful quarrying the line[00:02:28]
Stage centre shouting down the passage of time[00:02:35]
The corridor retains it's shadows[00:02:47]
It's secrets compartmentalised[00:02:52]
Damping down on ambience[00:02:59]
Damp the teeth and grind[00:03:03]
Shouting down the passage of time[00:03:07]
What's there to see or make clear[00:03:18]
What's there to know[00:03:24]
When the voice is right here[00:03:26]
What's there to promise or vow[00:03:30]
What's to believe when the time is right now[00:03:36]
Relatives spoke on the phone on the train[00:03:45]
Talking before they had sought to retain[00:03:50]
Voices projected spears in mid flight[00:03:56]
Frozen forever[00:04:02]
Oh let there be light[00:04:04]
