The sun on my back, the dust on my shoes This bedroll and pack, and my inborn walking blues I came from the sea, sweet lovin' goddess wanted me And I rose from the well, and my heart started to beat CHORUS: Trainman is rolling away Under a violent bruise in the sky Keeping his demons at bay This movement is constant goodbye But what will you see if you stay? Trainman is thundering by The flow of my blood, the weight of my haste The fall of the child I was all shows on my face The aching of the world, I harbor within It don't matter what they say, nothing's holy, there ain't no sin CHORUS: Trainman is rolling away Neighboring fields flying by What will he see on this day? There is a light in his eye That says what he's trying to say Trainman is thundering by I carry my tune when I'm sleeping, when I wake My love, the man of me it makes I'm trying to find, to cherish, to believe My throat opens wide to free a melody I conceive CHORUS: Trainman is rolling away Birds circle round in the sky Heeding the endless today His head back, his arms open wide The reverence he feels for the way Trainman is thundering by
