The leaves on the table are all turning gray
   The first time she saw you she hoped you were gay
   It's hard to recover when you're the disease
   But I'm ready I swear it, I'm walking around in these
   Railway shoes
   In my railway shoes
   The ghost of your father is
   Right by your side
   He's so close to you that he's almost inside
   He's guiding your head and he's guiding your limbs
   But he isn't you, and you know you're not him
   In your railway shoes
   In your railway shoes
   Take the train, taake the other train, mister, and stand by
   Take the train, take the other train, honey-and ride
   Madam I burn for you night after day
   I'm empty without you and colder than clay
   The wax on my body is making me cold
   But I'll never be able to go where I'm told in my
   Railway shoes
   In my railway shoes
   Take the train, take the other train, honey-and stand by
   Take the train-take the other train, mister-and ride
