Carrie Newcomer - Ghost Train lyrics

There's a light in the darkness Just barely out of view From the corner of your vision It beckons to you After the crops have all come in Amid the stubble and the chaff Keep on walkin' when it whispers And don't look back Some say it's the Ghost Train's headlights Or poor Wayland Smiths' pyre Some say it's the will o' the wisp Or St. Elmo's fire Or the ghost of wanderin' spirits That got lost between the worlds Keep on walkin' when they whisper Or if the lines begin to blur When it's done, it's said and done When it's gone, it's good and gone Sometimes there's nothin' left to do But pack it up and move along I'm not sayin' I don't remember Or that all things can be repaired But after the truth has been told Where do we go from there? Sorrow is a constant companion We just learn to walk beside Keep walkin' when it whispers And don't listen when it lies When it's done, it's said and done When it's gone, it's good and gone Sometimes there's nothin' left to do But pack it up and move along There are stories we are told Just to keep us in our place There are stories we made up ourselves To save a little face There's are ones that made us crazy And ones that kept us sane Keep on walkin' if the stories All start to sound the same When it's done, it's said and done When it's gone, it's good and gone Sometimes there's nothin' left to do But pack it up and move along When it's done, it's said and done When it's gone, it's good and gone Sometimes there's nothin' left to do But pack it up and move along Sometimes there's nothin' left to do But pack it up and move along Sometimes there's nothin' left to do But pack it up and move along
