Verse No matter how I try to sleep, thought’s brewing in my brain makes a home in the back, but comes to the front once again That coal train makes that trip fourteen times a day. one hundred ten car coal train announcin it’s refrain. never give it the time of day when there is light of day Not a notice that it’s present when other sounds are in the way. Funny thing about quiet, don’t notice when it’s gone. One hundred ten car coal train rumblin along. Verse Puppy’s settled down, joins the city in it’s sleep Still hear that coal train lumbering as I pray my soul to keep breathing slowing down I’ll join the city soon one hundred ten car coal train rollin under light of moon. coal provides a contrast, black converts to light trees from an ancient time, traveling to their plight From birds lighting in their branches to a fire burning bright one hundred ten car coal train whispers in the night. copyright 2021 Scott Lake Comment by David Snyder Cool 2022-01-23T16:24:20Z
