Jonah Tolchin - Rocks and Nails lyrics

The 2:19 took my baby away Saw it from the window above I was screaming from the cabin-car didn't know I had gone to far She stared straight into my eyes The look that she gave me full of love empty of waiting For me to come back home one more time You see I've been traveling trying feed 6 children Work where-ever I can get it But after 10 long years of these rambling tears Her weary mind drove her heart over the line Pa**ing train, take me away Leave my bones crush my name Sing my song, red on your rails Let me sleep with rocks & nails Just let me sleep with rocks & nails Well we drifted on by for the train had never-known How to love or how to sympathize Just kept rolling through forests, through the fields through the cities As I sat there waiting to wake up But when the station bell ringed clear as her face Dark as the sting of the thoughts that began to creep to the edges of my brain I went crazy with the sun, hopped off the train bought gun but Decided I wanted to go out the same way that she had done To sleep beneath the rocks & the nails Search for her soul between to the rails Our names forever written in the rust Pa**ing train, take me away Leave my bones crush my name Sing my song, red on your rails Let me sleep with rocks & nails Just let me sleep with rocks & nails If you don't know how the story goes I bought the finest wedding clothes Kneeled down between the vibrating steel and proceeded to propose The train barreled through the mist, to say I do and give the kiss Of final binding vows ending with eternal lifelessness The train rolled by the devil laughed said this is the wrath Of moneys lack, this is the land of freedom only for the rich Pa**ing train, take us away Leave our bones crush our names Sing our song, red on your rails And let us sleep with rocks & nails Just let us sleep with rocks & nails
