The Mutton Birds

(Don McGlashan)
I never thought that it would come to this
To watch myself leaving you behind
But you went to great lengths to clear my way
And like this train, you'll take a long, long time
To reach the end of the line
Like I did
Like I did
The farms and the rivers slide away out there
These towns all look like our home town
No one could blame you for getting out of there
But like this train, you'll take a long, long time
To reach the end of the line
Like I did
Like I did
You say they'll change in time
We won't feel so strange, but I
I don't believe you
I don't believe you
The power lines are dancing overhead
The wind is shaking up the trees
I wish I'd known how I could have made you see
But like this train, you'll take a long, long time
To reach the end of the line
Like I did
Like I did
Like this train, you'll take a long, long time
To reach the end of the line
Like I did
Like I did
Like this train
Like this train
Like this train
