Train Of Thought

lyrics

TRAIN OF THOUGHT K Mitchell
THE WIND BLOWS HARD BUT I CAN’T IMAGINE WHY Bm G
SOMEONE CALLED OUT TO ME AS I WENT RIDING BY A Bm
THE BOYS ON THE TRAIN, NOT HAVING ANY FUN Bm G
WINTERS IN THE AIR AGAIN, AND I’M PRAYING FOR THE SUN A G Bm

IN MY DREAMS I MET A TRAVELLER WITH A FIRE IN HIS EYE
HE SAID GET OFF THIS TRAIN AND LISTEN TO THE CRIES
WE'RE DYING ON THE STREETS AS THE KINGS MOVE THEIR PAWNS
WINTERS IN THE AIR AND I'M PRAYING FOR THE SUN

ch:
WHERE IS MY SONG, WHERE DO YOU BLOW ? D A
DO YOU TAKE IT PAST THE TREES WHERE NOBODY EVER GOES Bm G A
WHERE IS MY SONG , I WANT TO KNOW D A
PLEASE SEND IT TO MY MOTHER SING IT SOFT Bm G A
SING IT SWEET AND SING IT LOW Bm

THE KING AND THE QUEEN WERE SEEN ON HORSES IN THE SKY
THEY TELL ME IT WAS QUITE A SIGHT, I SEE NO REASON WHY
THE BOYS STILL ON THE TRAIN NOT HAVING ANY FUN
WINTERS IN THE AIR AND I'M PRAYING FOR THE SUN

WHEN A BIRD SINGS ITS SONG, MAGIC FILLS THE AIR
BUT EVERYONE HAS LEFT THE SCENE, THEIR HEARTS FULL OF DESPAIR
SOME SAY THEY’VE SEEN TOO MUCH, SOME SAY THEY WANT SOME MORE
BUT NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHAT WE'RE ALL FIGHTING FOR
CH
THIS TRAIN ROLLS ON THROUGH THE COLD AND FOGGY NIGHT
A MAN WITH NO VOICE SCREAMS WITH ALL HIS MIGHT
THE PROPHET AND THE FOOL ARE ONE AND THE SAME
HAVE YOU SEEN THE WIND, ITS TAKEN AWAY MY SONG AGAIN

Kevin Mitchell British Columbia

The songs that Kevin Mitchell plays and sings have the feel of a far off Woody Guthrie era, mixed with a roots vibe, and betraying just a little bit of his prairie heritage. In the last few years the fire has been lit, and those songs are roaring into life. His unique style, rhythms and subject matter combine to create an exciting new and original voice in the Canadian folk music scene. ... more
