Well once I knew a railway girl
Her age was seventeen
I gave her all I had to give
But the baggage of my dreams
Stole me from the games we played
Scorned me for my mast
And if she's gone she lingers on
I beg you please don't ask
T'was on her dark March evening
Southbound I did ride
My head was out the window
When I found her at my side
Asked where I was going to
I told but where I came
For the jails in which I've done my time
I fail hard to regain
Dark girl, dark girl it kills me so
To watch you so afraid
You know that you've been real to those
When realness should be feigned
Her eyes gone wide, "Alive," she cried
Does pleasure ever last?
We live to see, but patiently
I beg you please don't ask
She took me in despite my sins
Fed me tea and such
And as she fell just like a child
I crumbled 'neath her touch
I held my breath in fear to weep
For the fragments of my brain
See each day's but a moment that
I fail hard to regain
But as it goes the people it throws
Our values to the street
Whole world came and saint's gaze
Impatience in his feet
And captives of this paltry trade
We curse our mortal past
Forgive us though we all must go
And where to please don't ask

last verse palm muted
And now I am a misspent man
Who knows not where he's been
And though so sapped with suffering
The worst is yet unseen
Renounce myself for further wealth
I take each breath in vain
Still haunted by that railway girl
I fail hard to regain
(palm muted)
