Song Of The Trains

They say that the fountains in the mountains are free
But I’ve heard that the rivers all run into the sea
There are times in the evening when the waves want to rest
They keep coming back ’cause the ocean knows best

Long before dawn broke I heard trains coming back (Humba, humba,humba)
I heard people chanting, I heard clickety clack (Humba, humba, humba)
They sang of a city built on rock not on sand (Humba, humba, humba)
I heard people singing songs in a strange land

Clickety, clickety, clickety, clickety clack
Been to the city, to the city and back
I heard people singing back to back on the trains
Send our sad hearts laughter and our dry roots rain
Send our sad hearts laughter and our dry roots rain

They walked out the station, they walked onto the beach
They shook off the sand, shook the sand off their feet
And others came running from the west to the east
Back from the ocean and back to the beach

Some hunt for silver and others for gold (Humba, humba, humba)
Some search for love at least so I’ve been told (Humba, humba,humba)
Some beg for mercy, some long for rain (Humba, humba, humba)
I heard someone whisper, look here comes the train

Clickety, clickety, clickety, clickety clack
Been to the city, to the city and back
I heard people singing back to back on the trains
Send our sad hearts laughter and our dry roots rain
Send our sad hearts laughter and our dry roots rain

Clickety, clickety, clickety, clickety clack
Been to the city, to the city and back
I heard people singing back to back on the trains
Send our sad hearts laughter and our dry roots rain
Send our sad hearts laughter and our dry roots rain
