Lyrics

[Verse 1] And by the railway line He's sitting in his old grey coats And all the people come to ask him questions over again He gave away his house and clothes And all the money that he had The day the last train ran through our town [Chorus] Some think he's very wise But I know otherwise That man's a fool As he's forgotten life [Verse 2] He's always cold though the sun might shine Sits in the same place if it's grey or fine Sits where he lost his girl to the railway line He didn't love and he couldn't give And now he seeks his peace inside And still he wonders why he feels so cold [Verse 3] In the town where there once were trains The people hurry to and fro They think somehow this man can make them happy again They look for answers in his eyes They look for answers in the way he sighs They think somehow sorrow makes you very wise
