Title: Bury Me Where That Train Passes By - 2010-4
Post by: T.C. Elliott on January 25, 2010, 04:44:57 AM
Fourth song in my attempt to write a song a week in 2010. With apologies to Otis Gibbs.

Bury Me Where That Train Passes By
(c) 2010 T.C. Elliott

Time:
0:00
Volume:
50

My heart is heavy, my eyes filled with tears
For all the things forgotten through the years
Now I am weary, I've come to the end
But I can hear that train coming 'round the bend

Here comes that train
Travelin' so slow
It's a passenger train in the sky
My time is at an end
But I still have far to go
Bury me where that train passes by

If you ask me what do I see
It's a hill town that's filled with peace
No trouble inside those gold brick walls
As he shows you into his great hall

Chorus

I hear that engine coming down the tracks
I can hear it coming back
I've got my ticket as I climb aboard
As I go to see my Lord

Chorus

My heart is heavy, my eyes filled with tears
For all the things forgotten through the years
Now I am weary, I've come to the end
But I can hear that train comin' round the bend

Chorus

Mainly the voice and the lead guitar are so... clean and present..
how did you record them?

Since I live right by the tracks wouldn't be hard to do.  Just poor my ashes and when it goes by about 60 poof I'd be gone.   ;)  Great job!
