Where I'm Bound

Can you hear it cross the valley?

Can you hear that mournful sound?

I'm riding rails of silver

Going to where I'm boundHigh above the fields of clover

On a lazy, hot July

When I get to where I'm going

I'll hold my head up highI will roll across these mountains

I will take the last train out

Riding rails of silver

Going to where I'm boundRoses, dust and ashes

Throw them where I lay

And if by chance you see me

There'll be no sorrow on my faceFor I will see the beauty

I only wish that you could see

I'll leave my body weakened

I'll leave my soul to wander free, so freeSo if you should see a diamond

Fall down from the sky, it's just a teardrop

From the corner of my eye

As goodbye as I fly, to where I'm bound
