Can you hear it cross the valley
Can you hear that mournful sound
I`m riding rails of silver
Going to where I`m bound
High above the fields of clover
On a lazy, hot July
When I get to where I`m going
I`ll hold my head up high
I will roll across these mountains
I will take the last train out
Riding rails of silver
Going to where I`m bound
Roses, dust and ashes
Throw them where I lay
And if by chance you see me
There`ll be no sorrow on my face
For I will see the beauty
I only wish that you could see
I`ll leave my body weakened
I`ll leave my soul to wander free, so free
So if you should see a diamond
Fall down from the sky
Its just a teardrop
From the corner of my eye
As good-bye, as I fly
To where I`m bound
