Down The Track Lines Lyrics
I was born in another place way down the line
How long has it been? I’ve lost all time
Where the fog always fell and the rain drops chimed
So soft on my window pane.
Now the tangled tracks of what has been
Left me with a broken map, and half recalled bad dreams
Now I try to see the light of what it means
Down memory’s dark lanes
Down the track lines, way down the track lines
Down the track lines to where it all began.
I was so shy, found it hard to cope
I thought many times I had lost all hope
I saw me hanging on a tangled old rope
In my unprotected mind.
Friends I had came and went
My self-belief had all been spent
I had no money for food or to pay the rent
As my memory’s clock starts to rewind.
Down the track lines, way down the track lines
Down the track lines to where it all began.
Hero’s, were few and were far between
I found mine on the silver screen
It was my destiny to get out of my teens
With scars hidden deep down inside.
As I get further up the tracks to here
I can’t say to you now, that I resent them years
To make it to the light, you must have travelled through the mere(mirror)
To make it to the other side
Down the track lines, way down the track lines
Down the track lines to where it all began.
Paul Robert Thomas
