old man waiting - charles j. adams iii lyrics

[verse 1]
every day, you’ll find him
by this lonely track
hoping for a passing train
that’s never coming back
50 years ago, the last train
rumbled down this line
still, he keeps a vigil
just sitting, k!lling time

[verse 2]
with precious few tomorrows
but so many yesterdays
the old man bears no sorrows
in his weary wizened gaze
his mind is set to wandering
through many years and miles
a lifetime rich with memories
of many tears and smiles

[verse 3]
as the old man reminisces
from a dark and distant veil
a locomotive hisses
and a whistle faintly wails
the phantom train came rolling in
in a cloud of steam and smoke
the old man’s failing еyes lit up
but not a word he spoke
[verse 4]
hе listened as the locomotive
huffed and puffed in place
and then he drew his final breaths
with a broad grin on his face
the conductor smiled and said to him
“you’re coming home with me
it’s a highball straight to heaven
next stop: eternity”
