How long is th

     
is train son
           
I heard his fr

    
agile voice
             
I didn’t want 

          
to listen but 

           
there really w

     
as no choice
             
It seems like 

         
it goes on for

/           
ever and I wai

/     
ted for so lon

g
             
The old man’s 

            
breath came sl

            
ow and smelled

           
 of whiskey in

            
 the dawn

             
On a cold Nove

         
mber morning i

          
n the gentle m

/     
ist of rain
         
There’s just s

        
o many reasons

              
 that people w

       
ait to meet a 

     (  
train

 -  - 

          
And as I waite

      
d for my siste

           
r to come down

        
 the metal sta


irs
             
He told me tha

          
t his son had 

           
not been home 

       
in fifteen yea

rs
        
And I barely s

/        
eemed to notic

          
e the tears be

/      
hind his face
             
But his wishes

          
 were no stran

            
gers to the pe

             
ople in this p

             
lace



             
The old man st

           
ood there wait

      
ing for a youn

          
g man dressed 

    
in blue
             
Then he handed

           
 him a neatly 

            
folded flag an

         
d said for you

             
He said your s

      
on he died a h

         
ero in the ser

       
vice of this f


lag
             
The old man to

          
ok it gently p

           
ut it in his p

   
aper bag
         
Then I left hi

       
m in the rain 

           
there but I’d 

          
still hear his

  
 voice
             
I try hard not

          
 to listen but

           
 there really 

                    
is no choice

             
On a cold Nove

         
mber morning i

          
n the gentle m

/     
ist of rain
         
There’s just s

        
o many reasons

             
 that people w

/        
ait to meet a 

  
train




     
How long is th

      
is train son
           
I can hear the

      
 pouring rain
             
I’m still remi

          
nded of him wh

           
en I hear a pa

          
ssing train


I think this is quite accurate 

Enjoy :)
