Ghost Train

I took the cannon ball down to the ocean

across the desert from the sea to shining sea

I rode a ladder that climbed across the nation

50 million feet of earth between the buried and me

"How do you do?"

She said "Hey, how do you do?"

She buys a ticket cause it's cold were she comes from

she climbs aboard because she's scared of getting older in the snow

love is a ghost train through the darkness

hold on to me darling I got no place to go

"How do you do?"

She said "Hey, how do you do?"

I took the cannonball down to the ocean

watch the diesel disappear beneath the tumbling waves

love is a ghost train howling on the radio

"Remember everything" She said "When only memory Remains"

"how do you do?"

She said "Hey, how do you do?"
