Lyrics for Journeyman by Tull Jethro:
| | | Artist: | Tull Jethro |
| | Album: | Heavy Horses | | Track: | Journeyman | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 71 | | | | Lyrics: | Spine-tingling railway sleepers
Sleepy houses lying four-square and firm.
Orange beams
divide the darkness
Rumbling fit to turn the waking worm.
Sliding through
Victorian tunnels
where green moss oozes from the pores.
Dull echoes from the wet
embankments
Battlefield allotments. Fresh open sores.
In late night commuter
madness
Double-locked black briefcase on the floor,
like a faithful dog with master
sleeping in the draught beside the carriage door.
To each Journeyman his own
home-coming
Cold supper nearing with each station stop
Frosty flakes on empty
platforms
Fireside slippers waiting. Flip. Flop.
Journeyman night-tripping on
the late fantasic
Too late to stop for tea at Gerard's Cross
and hear the soft shoes
on the footbridge shuffle
as the wheels turn biting on the midnight frost.
On the late
commuter special
Carriage lights that flicker, fade and die
Howling into hollow
blackness
Dusky diesel shudders in full cry.
Down redundant morning papers
Abandon crosswords with a cough
Stationmaster in his wisdom
told the guard to turn the
heating off | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
