Clandestine

Clandestine - Long Journey South lyrics

rate me

Jamie'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
