Railroad Boy
Rainin’ by night
Rainin’ by day
The morning is cold and the sky is grey
He’s standing at the bus stop
Thinking bout a place he’s been
He hasn’t felt at home since he can’t remember when
Rainin’ by night
Rainin’ by day
That iron grey sky never goes away
Standing on a corner
It used to be a Nickel and Dime
He rubs his hands together thinking about the mysteries of time
Rainin’ by night
Rainin’ by day
Cruiser rolls by slow, it’s always that way
A shadow of suspicion
Fits him like a dirty glove
He turns his back to the patrol car
Eyes to the rain above
Rainin’ by night
Rainin’ by day
The whole world looks black and white and grey
Ashes to ashes
Running down the gutter drain
Turns away from the shiver
Closes his mind to the pain
