And I've watched the flat cars
I've watched the coal cars steal our rock
Nothing left to take we're told
That the wheels will stop turning,
The whistles will stop blowing,
These foolish dreams must stop
And I've watched the flat cars
I've watched the coal cars steal our rock
Nothing left to take we're told
That the wheels will stop turning,
The whistles will stop blowing,
These foolish dreams must stop
The longest train I've ever seen
Was the train that you were on
I walked you to the station,
We kissed and you were gone
I dream at night about you coming home
The train in the station,
As you step onto the platform
The band plays a little louder,
And as we embrace your cap falls off
Oh, I guess these foolish
And I've watched the flat cars
I've watched the coal cars steal our rock
Nothing left to take we're told
That the TV station will be closing,
Main Street windows will need boarding,
That these foolish dreams must stop
