Ghost Train Lyrics

There's a light in the darkness
Just barely out of view
From the corner of your vision
It beckons to youAfter the crops have all come in
Amid the stubble and the chaff
Keep on walkin' when it whispers
And don't look backSome say it's the Ghost Train's headlights
Or poor Wayland Smiths' pyre
Some say it's the will o' the wisp
Or St. Elmo's fireOr the ghost of wanderin' spirits
That got lost between the worlds
Keep on walkin' when they whisper
Or if the lines begin to blurWhen it's done, it's said and done
When it's gone, it's good and gone
Sometimes there's nothin' left to do
But pack it up and move alongI'm not sayin' I don't remember
Or that all things can be repaired
But after the truth has been told

Where do we go from there?Sorrow is a constant companion
We just learn to walk beside
Keep walkin' when it whispers
And don't listen when it liesWhen it's done, it's said and done
When it's gone, it's good and gone
Sometimes there's nothin' left to do
But pack it up and move alongThere are stories we are told
Just to keep us in our place
There are stories we made up ourselves
To save a little faceThere's are ones that made us crazy
And ones that kept us sane
Keep on walkin' if the stories
All start to sound the sameWhen it's done, it's said and done
When it's gone, it's good and gone
Sometimes there's nothin' left to do
But pack it up and move alongWhen it's done, it's said and done
When it's gone, it's good and gone
Sometimes there's nothin' left to do
But pack it up and move alongSometimes there's nothin' left to do
But pack it up and move along
Sometimes there's nothin' left to do
But pack it up and move along
