Trains (2005 Digital Remaster) - Al Stewart[00:00:00]

In the sapling years of the post war world[00:00:13]

In an English market town[00:00:16]

I do believe we travelled in schoolboy blue[00:00:19]

The cap upon the crown[00:00:22]

Books on knee[00:00:25]

Our faces pressed against the dusty railway carriage panes[00:00:27]

As all our lives went rolling on the clicking wheels of trains[00:00:34]

The school years passed like eternity[00:00:45]

And at last were left behind[00:00:47]

And it seemed the city was calling me[00:00:51]

To see what I might find[00:00:54]

Almost grown I stood before horizons made of dreams[00:00:57]

I think I stole a kiss or two while rolling on the clicking[00:01:03]

Wheels of trains[00:01:10]

Trains[00:01:17]

All our lives were a whistle stop affair[00:01:19]

No ties or chains[00:01:22]

Throwing words like fireworks in the air[00:01:25]

Not much remains[00:01:29]

A photograph in your memory[00:01:32]

Through the coloured lens of time[00:01:34]

All our lives were just a smudge of smoke against the sky[00:01:38]

The silver rails spread far and wide[00:01:49]

Through the nineteenth century[00:01:52]

Some straight and true some serpentine[00:01:55]

From the cities to the sea[00:01:58]

And out of sight[00:02:01]

Of those who rode in style there worked the military mind[00:02:04]

On through the night to plot and chart the twisting paths of[00:02:10]

Trains[00:02:15]

On the day they buried Jean Juarez[00:02:21]

World War One broke free[00:02:25]

Like an angry river overflowing[00:02:27]

Its banks impatiently[00:02:31]

While mile on mile[00:02:33]

The soldiers filled the railway stations arteries and veins[00:02:36]

I see them now go laughing on the clicking wheels of trains[00:02:42]

Trains[00:02:53]

Rolling off to the front[00:02:55]

Across the narrow Russian gauge[00:02:57]

Weeks turn into months[00:03:01]

And the enthusiasm wanes[00:03:04]

Sacrifices in seas of mud and still you don't know why[00:03:08]

All their lives are just a puff of smoke against the sky[00:03:14]

Then came surrender then came the peace[00:03:26]

Then revolution out of the east[00:03:29]

Then came the crash then came the tears[00:03:32]

Then came the thirties the nightmare years[00:03:35]

Then came the same thing over again[00:03:38]

Mad as the moon[00:03:41]

That watches over the plain[00:03:43]

Oh driven insane[00:03:47]

But oh what kind of trains are these[00:04:17]

That I never saw before[00:04:20]

Snatching up the refugees[00:04:23]

From the ghettoes of the war[00:04:26]

To stand confused[00:04:29]

With all their worldly goods beneath the watching guard's disdain[00:04:31]

As young and old go rolling on the clicking wheels of trains[00:04:38]

And the driver only does this job[00:04:49]

With vodka in his coat[00:04:52]

And he turns around and he makes a sign[00:04:55]

With his hand across his throat[00:04:58]

For days on end[00:05:01]

Through sun and snow the destination still remains the same[00:05:03]

For those who ride with death above the clicking wheels of trains[00:05:10]

Trains[00:05:21]

What became of the innocence[00:05:23]

They had in childhood games[00:05:25]

Painted red or blue[00:05:29]

When I was young they all had names[00:05:31]

Who'll remember the ones who only rode in them to die[00:05:36]

All their lives are just a smudge of smoke against the sky[00:05:42]

Now forty years have come and gone[00:05:59]

And I'm far away from there[00:06:02]

And I ride the Amtrak from NewYork City[00:06:06]

To Philadelphia[00:06:09]

And there's a man to bring you food and drink[00:06:11]

And sometimes passengers exchange[00:06:16]

A smile or two rolling on the humming wheels[00:06:20]

But I can't tell you if it's them[00:06:25]

Or if it's only me[00:06:28]

But I believe when they look outside[00:06:31]

They don't see what I see[00:06:34]

Over there[00:06:37]

Beyond the trees it seems that I can just make out the stained[00:06:39]

Fields of Poland calling out to all the passing trains[00:06:46]

Trains[00:06:57]

I suppose that there's nothing[00:06:59]

In this life remains the same[00:07:01]

Everything is governed[00:07:05]

By the losses and the gains[00:07:08]

Still sometimes I get caught up in the past I can't say why[00:07:12]

All our lives are just a smudge of smoke[00:07:18]

Or just a breath of wind against the sky[00:07:23]
