Brakeman's Daughter

Took a job at a factory by the railway side
 Where the trains roll by
 Where the trains roll by
 And a girl who was working there caught my eye
 Where the trains roll by
 Where the trains roll by
 She moved like a shadow 'cross the factory floor
 Where the trains roll by
 Where the trains roll by
 And I was watching from the shipping door
 Where the trains roll by
 Where the trains roll by
 And the lonesome sound of the whistle's moan
 Echoes in my blood and bones
 Leaves us standing all alone
 With what we keep inside
 And the lonesome whistle's siren sound
 Echoes Queen Street up and down
 Echoes all around the town
 And across the river wide
 Upstairs it's the insect click of the boards
 Where the trains roll by
 Where the trains roll by
 It's all ones and zeros, and never a word
 Where the trains roll by
 Where the trains roll by
 We were putting in windows, looking south
 Where the trains roll by
 Where the trains roll by
 And she caught me standing with no words
 in my mouth
 Where the trains roll by
 Where the trains roll by
 And the lonesome sound of the whistle's moan
 Echoes in my blood and bones
 Leaves us standing all alone
 With what we keep inside
 And the lonesome whistle's siren sound
 Echoes Queen Street up and down
 Echoes all around the town
 And across the river wide
 It's a world I could visit, I could never stay
 Where the trains roll by
 Where the trains roll by
 I'll be gone by tomorrow at the end of the day
 Where the trains roll by
 Where the trains roll by
 And the lonesome sound of the whistle's moan
 Echoes in my blood and bones
 Leaves us standing all alone
 With what we keep inside
 And the lonesome whistle's siren sound
 Echoes Queen Street up and down
 Echoes all around the town
 And across the river wide
