[Verse 2]
I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged.
Bells are ringing through the town again,
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing

[Chorus]
            
And the train 

              
conductor says
             
"Take a break 

             
Driver 8, Driv

            
er 8 take a br

eak
             
We can reach o

            
ur destination

      
, but we're st

[Verse 3]
            
Way to seal th

         
e hated heat.
             
Way to put mys

         
elf to sleep.
            
Way to shield 

         
the hated heat

.
             
Way to put mys

          
elf, my childr


en to sleep.

He piloted this song in a plane like that one.
She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade.
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again.
Field to weed is lookin' thin

[Chorus]
            
And the train 

              
conductor says
             
"Take a break
