When It's Gone It's Gone
Lyricist:Carrie Newcomer
The New York Central Railroad Was something in her day A million tons of coal and steel Must have passed this way
The ghost of some old engineer Walks this earth and you might hear While looking down on all those lights Could I see your ticket please?
When it's gone, it's gone But the echoes just go on and on And on and on
We send it out like our breath And somebody takes it in Somebody takes it in someone
In the age of possibility cheap gas John Glenn and tube TV When Martin walked many miles To stand beside Gandhi
But faith was stoned with cans and rocks And the neighbor kid came home in a box Now we don't believe so much of everything we hear
When it's gone, it's gone But the echoes just go on and on And on and on
We send it out like our breath Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And somebody takes it in Somebody takes it in someone
Tomorrow's just to far to see To far to know to love or grieve Every action is received
Like a legacy, it is our legacy Route 26 was open fields and I remember when Now every town I pass on through Has the same outer skin
How could he sell his father's bones All the others did but he just won't He says, 'When I'm dead, you can take it all But for now just let them graze'
When it's gone, it's gone But the echoes just go on and on And on and on
We send it out like our breath And somebody takes it in Somebody takes it in someone
When it's gone, it's gone But the echoes just go on and on And on and on
We send it out like our breath And somebody takes it in Somebody takes it in someone
