Dedicated to the memories of John and Dorothy Lancaster.

The works of Conor Conley and Horses were cited for this song.

lyrics

I hear the train, coming down the tracks
Like a feral dog, in search of scraps
I did whatever I had to do
I drank my money just to see it through

A union cheque between my hands
A porcelain doll and abandoned plans
I pack my bags, going to leave this town
And hop that train to where I can't be found

The timber's thick for this time of year
And I know it's full of white tail deer
A gambler's game and I got no plans
Find the sea so I can cleanse my hands

And all that's left will age and rust
Like a dying leaf left to burn in the sun
I find that spark, I hope she stays
I play that hand, I hope it pays

His daddy came up to the door
Those grand kids of his, he ain't seen before
Said "It's been a while, and I wan to know,
Got two tickets here, to the big top show."

He stood his ground, didn't waste his breath
He closed that door and put hell to rest
Through thick and thin I will take the blame
Find the sea and drown my shame
