Something About Trains Lyrics - Jane Siberry

Something about trains 

Something about love 

Something about this old Earth 

And the way it looks from up above 

Something about satellites 

Something about down below 

Something about the hissing of that old steam iron 

As you press your clothes 

Beam it up, beam it down 

Across the world from town to town 

Most of the time when I'm walking the line 

I'm looking at the ground 

Every time I hear that whistle blowing 

And every time I hear that old black crow 

Every time I hear that whistle blowing 

I find myself a-shivering in my soul 

Something about love 

When things go wrong 

When you can't find the one that you love 

You keep movin' on 

You walk the lonely, lonely valley 

You walk the line alone 

But this old earth is always there 

You don't feel so alone 

Beam it up, beam it down 

Across the world from town to town 

Most of the time when I'm walking the line 

I'm looking at the ground 

But every time I hear that whistle blowing 

But you wake up in the middle of the night 

And a train whistle blows and a dog barks 

And something's not quite right 

And the cry is sent up from this earth 

Into the silent sky 

Beam it up, beam it down 

Across the world from town to town 

Most of the time when I'm walking the line 

I'm looking at the ground 

But every time I hear that whistle blowing 

And every time I hear that old black crow 

Every time I hear that whistle blowing 

I find myself a-shivering in my soul 

Something about trains and love 

And the way this old earth looks tonight
