lyrics

Did you ever hear the sound
Of an old freight train
Rolling through the night
Putting you to bed?
Things haven’t been the same
Since Percy went away
Guess I always knew
But things don’t go the way
You think they’re gonna be
Things don’t all come together
It’s just an unsolved mystery
Like some ghost upon the wind
(Guess it’s just like it’s always been)


Now I look forward to the sun
And the days still yet to come
Am I so foolish to believe
That the brightest days are done?
What would that make me
But some tired lump of stone
I’ve got my living legacy
I can still feel my blood flowing
Mistakes left yet to make
Letters left to write
Promises to break
Ain’t no ghost across the breeze


Notes:
Lyrical and musical influences include "The Sun" by The Flaming Lips, and "'Cross the Breeze" by Sonic Youth.

The "Percy" mentioned in the song is a reference to my grandfather's pen name, Percy Wentworth, which he used for wrtiting and publishing a one act play entitled "Love in a Dentist Chair".
