《The Last Spike》歌词

[00:00:01] "The Last Spike" - Cowboy Junkies

[00:00:09] Mornings feel so damn sad these days

[00:00:17] Without the call of the 8:15

[00:00:24] That old familiar echo

[00:00:27] Has finally died away

[00:00:31] Leaving nothing but a chill

[00:00:34] Where there once was a mighty scream

[00:00:39] And I've watched the flat cars

[00:00:42] Take away our timber

[00:00:46] I've watched the coal cars steal our rock

[00:00:53] And now that we've got

[00:00:56] Nothing left to take we're told

[00:01:00] That the wheels will stop turning

[00:01:04] The whistles will stop blowing

[00:01:08] These foolish dreams must stop

[00:01:16] Last year they closed down the post office

[00:01:23] Took the only flag we had in town

[00:01:31] That old brick building

[00:01:33] Still stands like a cenotaph

[00:01:38] To a vision lost and buried in

[00:01:41] A very distant past

[00:01:45] And I've watched the flat cars

[00:01:49] Take away our timber

[00:01:53] I've watched the coal cars steal our rock

[00:02:01] And now that we've got

[00:02:04] Nothing left to take we're told

[00:02:07] That the wheels will stop turning

[00:02:11] The whistles will stop blowing

[00:02:15] These foolish dreams must stop

[00:02:22] The longest train I've ever seen

[00:02:26] Was the train that you were on

[00:02:29] I walked you to the station

[00:02:33] We kissed and you were gone

[00:02:36] I dream at night about you coming home

[00:02:45] The train in the station

[00:02:48] Your uniform on fire

[00:02:52] As you step onto the platform

[00:02:55] The band plays a little louder

[00:02:59] And as we embrace your cap falls off

[00:03:06] Oh I guess these foolish dreams must stop

[00:03:15] Mornings feel so damn sad these days

[00:03:22] Without the call of the 8:15

[00:03:30] Looks like this town is finally

[00:03:33] Going to die away

[00:03:36] Leaving nothing but broken promises

[00:03:39] Where there once was small town dreams

[00:03:44] And I've watched the flat cars

[00:03:47] Take away our timber

[00:03:51] I've watched the coal cars steal our rock

[00:03:59] And now that we've got

[00:04:02] Nothing left to take we're told

[00:04:05] That the TV station will be closing

[00:04:08] Main Street windows will need boarding

[00:04:13] That these foolish dreams must stop
