A long time ago came a man on a track[00:14:20]

Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back[00:14:20]

And he put down his load[00:14:20]

Where he thought it was the best[00:14:20]

He made a home in the wilderness[00:14:20]

He built a cabin and a winter store[00:14:20]

And he plowed up the ground by the cold lake shore[00:14:20]

And the other travellers came walking down the track[00:14:20]

And they never went further no[00:14:20]

They never went back[00:14:20]

Then came the churches[00:14:20]

Then came the schools[00:14:20]

Then came the lawyers[00:14:20]

Then came the rules[00:14:20]

Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads[00:14:20]

And the dirty old track[00:14:20]

Was the telegraph road[00:14:20]

Then came the mines[00:14:20]

Then came the ore[00:14:20]

Then there was the hard times[00:14:20]

Like a rolling river [00:14:20]

And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze[00:14:20]

People driving home from the factories[00:14:20]

Six lanes of traffic[00:14:20]

Three lanes moving slow [00:14:20]

I used to like to go to work[00:14:20]

But they shut it down[00:14:20]

I've got a right to go to work[00:14:20]

But there's no work here to be found[00:14:20]

Yes and they say[00:14:20]

We're gonna have to pay what's owed[00:14:20]

We're gonna have to reap[00:14:20]

From some seed that's been sowed[00:14:20]

And the birds up on the wires[00:14:20]

And the telegraph poles[00:14:20]

They can always fly away from this rain and this cold[00:14:20]

You can hear them singing out their telegraph code[00:14:20]

But I remember those nights[00:14:20]

When life was just a bet on a race between the lights[00:14:20]

You had your head on my shoulder[00:14:20]

You had your hand in my hair[00:14:20]

Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care [00:14:20]

But just believe in me baby and I'll take you away[00:14:20]

From out of this darkness and into the day[00:14:20]

From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain[00:14:20]

From the anger that lives on the streets with these names[00:14:20]

'Cos I've run every red light on memory lane[00:14:20]

I've seen desperation explode into flames[00:14:20]

And I don't wanna see it again [00:14:20]

From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed[00:14:20]
