Erie Lackawanna Lyrics - Through Low Light & Trees - Smoke Fairies

THIS IS THE ROOM WHERE THEY WERE BORN 

ALL OF THE KIDS GROWN UP SO LONG NOW 

AND IF I'M QUIET I CAN HEAR THEM FIGHT 

BUT THE ONLY REAL SOUND IS THAT WHISTLING TRAIN AT NIGHT 

THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT HAS STAYED THE SAME 

THE LONELY WHINE OF THE NEW YORK TRAIN 

USED TO HEAR IT COMING FOR ME IN DREAMS 

BUT NOW IT JUST SINGS ME TO SLEEP IT SEEMS 

I CAN HEAR A WRECKING BALL COMING FOR THE HOUSE 

SEE A WRECKING BALL GONNA TEAR IT DOWN 

IN THIS KITCHEN WE WOULD LAUGH AND SING 

NOW I EAT ALONE AT BURGER KING 

MY WIFE USED TO COME HOME AND COOK THE MEALS 

NOW MY DAUGHTER COMES WEEKLY TO FEED ME PILLS 

I CAN HEAR A WRECKING BALL COMING FOR THE HOUSE 

SEE A WRECKING BALL GONNA TEAR IT DOWN 

USED TO RUN THROUGH FIELDS TO PUT PENNIES ON THE TRACK 

NOW IT'S JUST BIG HOUSES WITH POOLS OUT BACK 

THEY'LL BULLDOZE THIS HOUSE WHEN I AM GONE 

AND NO-ONE WILL BE HERE TO SING THAT OLD TRAIN SONG 

I CAN HEAR A WRECKING BALL COMING FOR THE HOUSE 

SEE A WRECKING BALL GONNA TEAR IT DOWN
