about

This was a holiday rush job, all around, but I do like the tune, and I think I can see the beginnings of a story start to peak out from these scratch lyrics. I'm betting I'll come back to this one.

lyrics

You were sleeping at the border
When I saw the welcome signs
And I almost tried to wake you
Out of spite

And when that song came on the
Radio the thirty-seventh time
I could hear you sigh
But maybe you were dreaming

Fare thee well
I’ll see you on the morrow
Fare thee well
When shadows chase the moon
I could swear
Those sorrows don’t go easy
Down a thousand miles of
Rails I’ll find you

Did you think you’d disappear
Down the wilds of wires and canyons
You can only go so far
As you can run

But I believe that we are scripted
circumscribed and built for speed
Shot from cannons, scouts for
Gospels we don’t trust

Fare thee well
I’ll see you on the morrow
Fare thee well
When shadows chase the moon
I could swear
Those sorrows don’t go easy
Down a thousand miles of
Rails I’ll find you

There’s a man at Union Station
And it comes as no surprise
He will lead you down the path
you least desire

And when that train has left the depot
And the platform’s emptied out
You’ll remember how that song
It used to go

Fare thee well
I’ll see you on the morrow
Fare thee well
When shadows chase the moon
I could swear
Those sorrows don’t go easy
Down a thousand miles of
Rails I’ll find you
