What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I sit upon the bed in my rented room and watch
2
The broken shadows from the street lights playing tag upon the wall
3
Down the street a neon light is reaching out to mock the night
4
And all the little fears that darkness brings
5
The smoke of my last cigarette still hangs upon the air and yet
6
I reach to light another from the pack that's nearly gone
7
And the dawn seems a million miles away but all the while
8
Down in the train yard the graveyard shift had just come on
9
And turned their ragged collars against the drizzling rain
10
Back and forth the yard engine goes about the pulling out
11
The railroad cars that soon will be making up the train
12
That's gonna be come the morning
13
I wonder if I ever cross the mind of someone
14
That I might have learned to love
15
Had I ever chose to try or did she fail to think about me?
16
In the lonely nights without me
17
Was she the last to care if I should live or die?
18
I've been a nameless ghost that rides the empty wave of memory
19
In the dark deserted closets of the mind of someone else
20
And now I'm a ghost unto myself but still I know
21
And now I cross the room and stand before the open window
22
And reach out to touch the rain that's slowly falling on my hand
23
The pavement hot and cold below looks back at me and seems to know
24
It ends without a tear without a smile
25
And in those last brief seconds could it be I was mistaken
26
Or did I hear a voice somewhere that softly called my name
27
Or was it just a whistle of a train for all the while?
28
Down in the train yard the graveyard shift had just gone home
29
To hang their clothes to dry them bar their doors against the rain
30
The yard engine breathe a sigh then pulls a last gray coal car by
31
Then moves aside to look with pride upon the new born train
32
That I won't take come the morning
33
I wonder if I ever cross the mind of someone
34
That I might have learned to love
35
Had I ever chose to try or did she fail to think about me?
36
In the lonely nights without me
37
Was she the last to care if I should live or die?
