Can't Ignore The Train - Demo

Steep is the water tower
 painted off blue to match the sky
 can't ignore the train
 night walks in the valley silent
 you could swear the earth just moved
 can't ignore the train
 dust to be kicked up
 in the crack faced
 idle sinister town
 screen door to the rail station
 devil in her shoe
 ran along side the wasted tracks
 hem pins darted her calves
 can't ignore the train
 one spoiled girl with the tidiest apology
 some how wedged inside her throat
 can't ignore the train
 patience their virtue
 but I never could abide by that
 dungeon life with electric light
 a clean towel and a basin
 mantle figures mind their place
 laughs where they belong
 through adventure we are not adventuresome
 rage to share with a wardrobe mirror
 in a room so beige and cold
 can't ignore the train
 window days saw the children pick their
 street games on thirty afternoons
 Molly the boys are
 starting in the rhymic again
 teasing more and more...
 the second daughter
 how she fell
 young locked in Some Folk's Prison
 made to dwell
 til they're braiding
 her grey hair
 sitting in the wishing chair
 sitting in the wishing chair
 sitting in the wishing chair
