 AMAZING GRACE (TRAIN SONG) (tune of "Amazing Grace") Copyright 1998 by Adam Selzer, All Rights Reserved, ASCAP
2001 Version from Storm Shadow Sometimes I listen to the sound of the hard falling rain And try to make myself believe the sound comes from a train I'm staring out the window at a busted weathervane but though I listen very hard I never hear a train I'm reading ever letter of the Friday New York Times They tore the tracks up years ago but I hear the whistle blow sometimes I want to be the hobo who Has no scars on his face Who jumps out from the moving car Lands with Amazing Grace EARLY VERSION, 1998, from the first Rosencrantz and Guildenstern album Sometimes I listen to the sound of the hard falling rain And try to make myself believe the sound comes from a train I dream I'm riding in the car The lonesome whistle blows I wonder if believing dreams Can really make them so I've got to get out of this town I can't bear to remain But though I listen very hard I never hear a train Solo One night I crept out to the lake And heard a distant sound How strange to hear the train that night When no tracks went through town I want to be the hobo who Has no scars on his face Who jumps out from the moving car Lands with Amazing Grace Repeat verse one 3/98 |
