I heard the whistle of the train As I left this town Tried to pick up the last remains Without turning around Blackbirds on the wire Singing to my lonely sky I guess they've realized I can't stand saying goodbye I got my steel wheels spinning in vain To forget your face Under dark clouds and heavy rain I feel so displaced Blackbirds fled the wire To sing in someone else's sky Surely they've realized We've all seen better times Shadows over the rail track Storm winds start to spread Shadows over the rail track Oh, memories flood my head I saw the scenery flying past While the Sun went down Wondered how long the ride would last Before my trail was found Blackbirds soaring high Disappear into the evening sky By now, they've realized There's no use asking why Shadows over the rail track With the kiss from your ghost Shadows over the rail track Now I miss you the most Fading away on the rail track Running away on the rail We’re fading away on the rail track We’re running away on the rail
