Ghost Train Lyrics by Carrie Newcomer

Before and After

0

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
