Whistle stop

 South bound whistle

On a northbound train

You better get on the chance won't come again

Living in the breathing moment


Don't stand on the platform 

For your train will run passed

There's no use holding onto

The ghosts of the past

Here we come on the strawberry line


We slash and we hack

Beat a path down the track

But there's no use in regretting

We never look back

Here we come

On the train called now


Oh the wheels are turning and it's never the same

The platform you get on at will not come again

The wheels squeal engines throb

However you feel you finish the job,

When the whistle blows we'll be getting on the train

Here we come, hear us coming the chance won't come again


And the steam billows out through the tunnel dark

You might try to out run it but it's lit in you a spark

But time's train is gonna follow whether you do or not

Just keep moving forward through the blind spot

Here we come, hear us coming
