Omnichord - Pram

And by the railway line

He’s sitting in his old grey coats

And all the people come to ask him questions over again

He gave away his house and clothes

And all the money that he had

The day the last train ran through our town

Some think he’s very wise

But I know otherwise

That man’s a fool

As he’s forgotten life

He’s always cold though the sun might shine

Sits in the same place if it’s grey or fine

Sits where he lost his girl to the railway line

He didn’t love and he couldn’t give

And now he seeks his peace inside

And still he wonders why he feels so cold

In the town where there once were trains

The people hurry to and fro

They think somehow this man can make them happy again

They look for answers in his eyes

They look for answers in the way he sighs

They think somehow sorrow makes you very wise
