Lawrence Hammond - Empty Rails In Garfield County lyrics

A dry west wind that's the only train to Garfield County Darlin', it don't even stop for mail That whistling calls the dust to rise around me And old dreams just dry and wither when she wails Standin' by this run-down depot wishin' for a train And empty rails in Garfield County bring me pain So long ago on those rusty rails the last train stole you As you stood there looking hard and turning pale Now the years shake these aging hands that could not hold you And the cactus grows between them long steel rails 'Cause it's gone, that lonesome headlight that could bring you back again And empty rails in Garfield County bring me pain Darlin', last night the thunder rolled up in the canyons And the Fremont, she ran red with canyon mud And as the mountains looked down without no understanding A few hard tears was washed down in the flood 'Cause in my life the train don't whistle and the wind don't bring no rain And empty rails in Garfield County bring me pain In my life that train don't whistle and the wind don't bring no rain And empty rails in Garfield County bring me pain
