lyrics

It’s the last train running, I hear the creaking of the track
It’s the last train running, before the line becomes a path
Now the back door is open, and there’s cooking going on
It’s like the siren has just sounded , long before the stack was blown
On that last train running

It’s the last train running , you hear it echo through the streets
Its when the buckets were still moving and there was work beneath our feet
And the dust was like mascara, on every working man
And the bars were never emptied, until last orders rang
It was a time to be remembered, it seems hard to understand
That you’d hear each shift a-changing, it’d be the life blood of this land
On that last train running

It’s the last train running, and now you mustn’t make a sound
No you mustn’t wake your brother, he worked a double underground
Now the tips are covered over and the rain that falls is clean
And that last train running is nothing but a dream
Its the last train running and its never coming back, but somewhere in the distance
I hear the creaking of the track, of that last train running.
