RE LAsus4/MI
Steep is the water tower
RE SIm FA#m
painted off blue to match the sky

can't ignore the train
(same as 1st verse)
night walks in the vally silent
you could swear the earth just moved
can't ignore the train
RE
dust to be kicked up
MIm RE/FA# RE MIm RE/FA# RE
in the crack faced idle sinister town
MIm RE/FA# RE
screen door to the rail station
MIm RE/FA#
devil in her shoe
RE LAsus4/MI
ran along side the wasted tracks
RE SIm FA#m
hem pins darted her calves
MIm
can't ignore the train
(same)
one spoiled girl with the tidiest apology
some how wedged inside her throat
can't ignore the train

patience their virtue
but I never could abide by that

dungeon life with electric light

laughs where they belong
FA#m MIm FA#m MIm
through adventure we are not adventuresome
(same as 1st verse)
rage to share with a wardrobe mirror
in a roon so beige and cold
can't ignore the train
window days saw the children pick their
street games on thirty afternoons
RE
Molly the boys are
starting in the rhyme again
MIm RE/FA#
teasing more and more....
RE MIm
the second daughter
RE/FA# RE
how she fell
MIm RE/FA# RE
young locked in Some Folk's Prison
MIm RE/FA# RE
made to dwell
MIm RE/FA#
til they're braiding
RE
her grey hair
MIm RE/FA# RE
sitting in the wishing chair
sitting in the wishing chair
sitting in the wishing chair
