Lyrics

Well I woke up early with the sun in my eyes
And the dream still clear in my mind
I walked out of my life and out of town
With my bags just as it started to rain
Well, I sat right down by the railroad track
Just like it had been in the dream
I laid down my load with nothing to lose
And I waited for the train
Now a little while later my friend called by
Just to see what I was going through
And we talked about the way everybody seems
To be waiting for something new
To come along and change the way we are
And what we're gonna do
Well, after a while when she sat right down
She started waiting too
Well, a few days later folks were stopping by
Some of them would stay
We had music, we had fires, we had tents and stuff
The biggest party that you ever saw
Now soon we were getting organized
Building homes and growing our food
And I got so busy that I almost forgot
What I was waiting for
Now a year has come and gone and you wouldn't believe
Just how things here have changed
Every day there's more people around
I never knew so many felt the same
Ah, but still sometimes I think about
The dream and how my life would have been
On a rainy day in the summertime
Waiting for the train
Now our kids have grown old and I'm getting tired
As I look back on what we've done
We've schools and shops and we've dances and things
And we've a sense of where we're going for sure
Ah, but there's still no sign of change in the world
Or the things that we're hoping will come
And sometimes I think maybe it's all inside
What we're waiting for
In the dead of night I sat by the tracks
All alone as the stars unfurled
I felt younger as the one who walked
You know I don't think I'll be coming back
I put my ear to the ground, I heard a rumbling sound
Like the thunder from another world
And a blinding light and a screaming steam
And the last thing I saw was a dream
Coming down the tracks
Coming down the tracks
Coming down the tracks
