Rankin Family, The - Orangedale Whistle lyrics

rate me

The stationmaster looked all around

Along the track both up and down

But the train could not be found

For there was neither sight or sound

There was neither sight or sound

He walked on slowly to the station door

like so many times before

He looked outside into a sunshine beam

Closed his eyes and dreamed a dream

Drifted off into a dream

The winds of change forever blow

Some things stay and some things go

The falling rain must melt the snow

The orangedale whistle will always blow

Years ago throughout this land

That line was laid by able men

But things are changed as time goes by

People drive and people fly

People drive and people fly

The stationmaster is long since gone

He faded off into the sun

But the whistle shrill still lingers on

In the hearts of everyone

Everyday from dusk till dawn

The winds of change forever blow

Some things stay and some things go

The falling rain must melt the snow

The orangedale whistle will always blow
