Horsey Music - Iron Laid on Woodties Lyrics

Iron laid on woodties
And the mountain and her behind me
And I'm glad I'm finally leaving finally gone
But I cannot help from feeling
That I lack something inside me
O why's it feel like dusk when it is dawn

And I'm glad I'm finally leaving finally gone

The hills pass by so quickly
Parading against the window
They let me see them then recede
The train pushes onward
Moving farther from my lover
And that sweet and gentle life I thought I'd lead

They let me see them then recede

Outside the wheat is golden
And it burns just like a question
That was asked but never ushered through the door
And I read here in the paper
That this world's a mess of suffering
So I guess this trouble mine is just some more

It was asked but never ushered through the door

We pass over a river
As wide as summer nights
It's cool and calm and going to the sea
I wish I were like that river
So smooth and so beloved
So married to its purpose yet so free

It's cool and calm and going to the sea

The sun is going down
And the moon is rising slowly
And I know know just like the day I can't go back
But the night's so dark and lonely
And I'm feeling oh so lowly
Like I'm moving the wrong way along the track

And I know just like the day I can't go back

I wish I were like that river
So smooth and so beloved
So married to its purpose yet so free
And I wish this train were going
To a ready destination
And I wish that that woman was with me

So married to its purpose yet so free
