Laurika Rauch - Song of the trains lyrics

They say that the fountains In the mountains are free But I've heard that the rivers All run into the sea There are times in the evening When the waves want to rest They keep coming back 'cause The ocean knows best Long before dawn broke I heard trains coming back I heard people chanting I heard clickety clack They sang of a city Built on rock not on sand I heard people singing songs In a strange land Chorus: Clickety clickety clickety Clickety clack, clickety clack Been to the city To the city and back, I heard people singing Back to back on the trains Send our sad hearts laughter And our dry roots rain They walked out the station They walked onto the beach They shook off the sand Shook the sand off their feet And others came running From the west to the east Back from the ocean And back to the beach Some hunt for silver And others for gold Some search for love At least so I've been told Some beg for mercy Some long for rain I heard someone whisper Look… here comes the train Chorus x 2
