Train To Nowhere

Standing on the platform
 Staring down the track
 I felt a shiver
 When I heard that clickety-clack
 Heard the cry of "All aboard"
 The ancient whistle blow
 I've been waiting here so long
 I can't tell friend from foe
 Oh - - -
 I'll meet you down the line
 I'm on the train to nowhere
 And it's right on time
 The conductor was a blind man
 And it caused me some concern
 When he handed me my ticket
 For the point of no return
 He said, "You look a little worse for wear
 I hate to call your bluff
 But if you're going to ride this line
 You must be made of sterner stuff"
 I begged the brakeman, "Stop this train"
 He said, "But what's the use?
 You should know by now it's commonplace
 For all hell to be breaking loose"
 Then I heard my grandmother singing
 "Hush - don't you cry
 You're my little piece of Heaven
 Fallen down from the sky"
