Lyrics

IN THE WANING TWILIGHT, THE WHISTLE OF A TRAIN
BLOWS AWAY THE YEARS
AND AS THE EVENING GATHERS, I AM A CHILD AGAIN
WONDERING WHEN THE FUTURE WILL APPEAR

ONCE UPON A TIME, THAT TRAIN STOPPED HERE
PAST TO FUTURE BOUND
BUT THE TIME PASSED ON, AND IT ALL DISAPPEARED
AND LEFT THIS LINGERING ECHO OF A TOWN

PAST TO FUTURE BOUND
SEASONS FADE AWAY
FADE AWAY AS THE WORLD BEGINS TO TURN
TO A DIFFERENT DAY

YONDER STOOD THE DEPOT, ACROSS FROM THE HOTEL
TRADE FROM MILES AROUND
THERE ROSE THE WATER TOWER, UNTIL THE DAY IT FELL
BUT BY THEN, THERE WAS NO ONE TO HEAR THE SOUND

IN THE BRILLIANT DAYLIGHT, THE WHISTLE OF A TRAIN
BRINGS BACK /ALL THE YEARS
STANDING IN THE MOMENT, I WONDER YET AGAIN
AT THE REASONS THINGS HAVE TO DISAPPEAR
