Clandestine - Long Journey South lyrics
rate meJamie's gone away<br />
To cross the widest plain<br />
Find some undiscovered kings and princes<br />
Jamie's jumped the train<br />
To live bravely for a day<br />
Ride the rails in some lost romances<br />
Infamous hobos crouch in the car<br />
Singing along in the night<br />
Old pioneers<br />
Looking for the lost frontier<br />
Under the dark western sky<br />
And the night wore on<br />
More people jumped the train<br />
At Grass Valley the next day<br />
Pulled out so fast they nearly lost their hold<br />
Across the snow fields<br />
And over ravines<br />
Yellow skies of snowfall<br />
The sun winks and dreams<br />
::Chorus::<br />
The mountains are marching<br />
The deserts rolling home<br />
It's a long ways away from a place we all know<br />
I'll give you my hand<br />
We'll roll like a stone<br />
Show me the places the wild birds know<br />
And the night wore on<br />
Jamie sits and he knows<br />
The place where we go<br />
Is oh, so much farther<br />
Than old Mexico<br />
If I'm alone<br />
I'd rather be here than home<br />
I like to have a song to sing<br />
The night wore on<br />
Jamie's gone away<br />
To catch the last of the trains<br />
And it's a long journey south<br />
Jamie jumped the train<br />
When the world was dark and strange<br />
And a smile played the corners of his mouth<br />
The night wore on
