Zutons, The - Railroad lyrics

Album: Who Killed The Zutons? (2004)

Although i have left you darlin´,
I will soon be back again,
That is what i said in China,
When all the work was dead.

I hope you do not get my letters,
I write them everyday,
I will soon be headed westwards,
I am hammering the screws.

I am working on the railroad,
I dig away the time,
I am singing to the work song,
With memories in mind.

I will sail to Hong Kong harbour,
The winds were warmer there,
The sweat would roll down my back,
While digging up the earth.

While talking of you darling,
I would show your photograph,
And point in over Westwards,
Way over past the tracks.

I am working on the railroad,
I dig away the time,
I am singing to the work song,
With memories in mind.

I am working on the railroad,
I dig away the time,
I am singing to the work song,
With memories in mind....of you

I have saved every penny my girl,
I hope that you´ve waited out there,
For all my love when i get home,
´Coz deep down in my heart, theres a hole. (x3)
