Lyrics

Along the Railway
(© Rick Moody July 26, 2012)
(lyrics by Rick Moody and Jo-Ann Perry)

(PICKING, NO CAPO, Am F & G THROUGHOUT)

Well I don’t know and I can’t say
Why we lost her much too young
But I’m so sad the night won’t end
All along the railway

And life is like a journey through
Times so good but times so blue
But now there’s less to hold on to
All along the railway


- Chorus - (with flute or mouth organ & vocal harmony)

My baby baby baby babe
Our baby baby baby girl
My baby baby baby babe
Our baby baby baby girl

Black on black and white on white
Someone crying in the night
Well I don’t know and I can’t say
All along the railway

Was it fate or destiny
No-one knows and no-one may
Still we travel through the night
All along the railway

- Chorus -

It’s been two years since she’s been gone
And yet the pain remains so strong
“Goodbye” we can never say
All along the railway

We hope and pray that time will mend
grief and anger so entwined
But I don’t know and I can’t say
Why we lost our daughter

- Chorus & END -
