[C]I hear the train all night
[G]sound of its wind blowing t[Am]hrough[G] our subtle lives[C]
and i have a job to do [G]walking these cars
walking [Am]all asleep [G]to get to you[C]
but I don't [Am]feel your stir [C]beside me
and your not[Am] in my morning [G]hour
[C]some ties are made to break
[G]some stalks grow high and green to [Am]rot away[G]
and feel the wa[C]ke
[C]and these lines tell the truth
