Castles And Kings

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
When I was a kid in a country town And I'd nothing better to do I'd detour round by the railway bridge On my way home from school Leaning over the bridge with my chin in my hands Too young to be wondering why I'd wait what seemed hours for the signal to change Wait for a train to go by The lure of the footplate, the churn of the rods Straining to places unknown Fog in November, smoke in the cold air The faraway steam-whistle moan Bathing my eyes in the warmth of the lights As up the track she would fly I'd get home late: they'd ask where I'd been I'd say, watching the trains go by Saturday lunchtime some days in the spring With the sky an implacable blue Collecting the numbers of Castles and Kings It's all I'd want to do Perspective of steel cut through frostbitten green Just went on to a faraway end And I always felt sad at the Cambrian's tail-light As she'd disappear round the bend Now trains mean timetables, luggage and waiting rooms Leaving the people I love The pounding of diesels, the A to B run Perspective has subtly moved Tonight I am free and the rails are still endless If I had the fare to ride But I stand on a footbridge in the heart of the city Watching the tube trains go by
