Ryan Horne - Long Island Railroad lyrics

I found her in the city Put some flowers on her table It was a cold windy evening So we lounged across her floor We played our favourite record That I found in my apartment In a box we labelled 'Lovers' In a box we made as friends I met up with her off Broadway Took a walk with her on Sunday We drove to hear the gospel Put our filthy hands to work I wrote down all my feelings with a pen and piece of paper I told her about it later as I took the long road home Look at the flame that is burning in the city It is a fire I can't ever put out Look at the flame that is burning in the city I'll take the Long Island Railroad out of town I will take the Long Island Railroad out of town She left her home in Georgia back when she was just a child A daughter of a preacher in a lovely little world I loved how she would listen and learn from different scholars Some are poets, some are authors Either way I love them all Look at the flame that is burning in the city It is a fire I can't ever put out Look at the flame that is burning in the city I'll take the Long Island Railroad out of town I will take the Long Island Railroad out of town Look at the flame that is burning in the city It is a fire I can't ever put out Look at the flame that is burning in the city I'll take the Long Island Railroad out of town I will take the Long Island Railroad out of town
