lyrics

THE RAILWAY INSTITUTE (TOO FAR GONE)

Outside the Railway Institute a man sinks to the ground
Inside his head it’s screaming but his lips emit no sound
The lines on his face map the hurricanes that have crossed his path
And robbed him of his sanity and robbed him of his laugh.

Too far gone, Too far gone? Don’t get too far gone
Too far gone, Too far gone? Don’t get too far gone

She said don’t take your girlfriend and make her your wife
She’ll end like me in a nursing home at the sunset of her life
A crumpled rose in her pocket for a friend who wasn’t there
Sifting the grease of motherhood with her fingers through her hair

Chorus

Outside the Railway Institute she kneels to the ground
She hears her train leaving from the distant grinding sound
She holds his hand and lifts his head and wipes the blood from his lip
Mcwilliams Cream is tenderness as they take another sip

Chorus

Outside the Railway Institute Saint Peter’s Train is leaving town
Outside the Railway Institute you can’t keep the spirit, can’t keep the spirit down.
Another day on the railway. Another day on the railway
We‘ve lost our heart on the railway. Another day on the railway
Outside the Railway Institute.
