Stampead - Funeral Train lyrics

rate me

Waiting around,<br />

for a funeral train in Chester,<br />

and I don't feel it's coming round.<br />

<br />

I heard my mother,<br />

crying in the kitchen,<br />

doing her best not to make a sound.<br />

<br />

And I could lay on the rails or set my sails,<br />

or clench my fists again,<br />

maybe put my guns away.<br />

<br />

Remembering you and what you wanted.<br />

All that we stood for.<br />

How can I walk away?<br />

<br />

From these,<br />

home dreams,<br />

and half broken bridges,<br />

that you wouldn't dare to burn down.<br />

<br />

And it's,<br />

old friends,<br />

who tell you you're not alone,<br />

and then they never come around.<br />

<br />

I know now that I can't win,<br />

when there's nothing left to lose.<br />

It's only revenge.<br />

<br />

And Lord, we?ve tried and tried,<br />

but the future died for me,<br />

in a hotel in LA.<br />

<br />

Someday, one day, can?t catch a break.<br />

Spend half my life on a line in a factory.<br />

Waiting for some fresh air.<br />

<br />

In these,<br />

home dreams,<br />

and half broken bridges,<br />

that you wouldn't dare to burn down.<br />

<br />

And it's,<br />

old friends,<br />

who tell you you're not alone,<br />

and then they never come around.<br />

<br />

I stood with my neighborhood.<br />

Lined along the tracks,<br />

on the saddest day.<br />

<br />

I heard my mother,<br />

crying in the kitchen,<br />

and I put my guns away.<br />

<br />

I can see,<br />

if you show me,<br />

right from wrong.<br />

<br />

All I need,<br />

yes all I need,<br />

is a friend to say that it's alright<br />

<br />
