Storm Shadow



2001 Version from Storm Shadow

Sometimes I listen to the sound
of the hard falling rain
And try to make myself believe
the sound comes from a train

I'm staring out the window at
a busted weathervane
but though I listen very hard
I never hear a train

I'm reading ever letter
of the Friday New York Times
They tore the tracks up years ago
but I hear the whistle blow sometimes


I want to be the hobo who
Has no scars on his face
Who jumps out from the moving car
Lands with Amazing Grace





EARLY VERSION, 1998, from the first Rosencrantz and Guildenstern album

Sometimes I listen to the sound
of the hard falling rain
And try to make myself believe
the sound comes from a train

I dream I'm riding in the car
The lonesome whistle blows
I wonder if believing dreams
Can really make them so

I've got to get out of this town
I can't bear to remain
But though I listen very hard
I never hear a train

Solo

One night I crept out to the lake
And heard a distant sound
How strange to hear the train that night
When no tracks went through town

I want to be the hobo who
Has no scars on his face
Who jumps out from the moving car
Lands with Amazing Grace

Repeat verse one
