Lone Croft Farewell Lyrics by Railroad Earth

Railroad Earth

2010

The stakes are in the meadow . . the fields are overgrown
The winds of change are blowin' through the place that I've called home they're diggin' at the edges . . to build the power line
Same old story . . but now the story's mine
So build a fire & throw in . . the papers & the past
No need to try & save it now . . it's never gonna last
It's a starry night . . the moon is bright . . let's call the old owl in
Let him know we're leavin' . . say goodbye old friend
Goodbye to the years here, they have flown
Goodbye to the only home I've known
The wheels of the world are rollin' thru
& If this door is closing' . . i guess I'm rollin' too
For 14 years my family . . walked these crooked floors
40 years before my father opened up the doors
A stony stand . . it all began 300 years before
What story is beginning? if this one is no more?
Goodbye to the years here, they have flown
Goodbye to the only home I've known
The wheels of the world are movin on'
& If this door is closing' . . i guess it's time i'm gone
Feels like a wave that can't be stopped
A coming day . . my heart will drop
Feels like a war that won't be won
. . without a gun
So goodbye bird & bear
Goodbye tree & land
Goodbye to all i know like knowin'
The back of my hand
I'll walk the grounds & make the rounds
Of this place I've loved so well
Fire up the diesel .
Bid a last lone croft farewell
Goodbye to the years here, they have flown
Goodbye to the only home I've known
The wheels of the world are rollin' thru
& If this door is closing' . . i guess i'm rollin' too
