Last Chance Train

Music: Trev Reed, Lyrics: Renata Connors

Take a look around you, the clock has stopped.
Memories of good times are all you've got.
There's not much for you here, apart from pain.
Nothing to hang on to, that's now quite plain.

That's why //: everybody's leaving on the Last Chance Train ://

Listen to the silence of the curfewed streets.
In your tightening throat you feel a heart that beats
in the frightened rhythm of the old refrain.
Where to look for safety when the world's insane?

Now //: everybody's leaving on the Last Chance Train ://

Hope lives in a far away place
where grass is green on both sides of the fence.
Hope is a stranger who shows a kind face.
Hope is all you have.

Promise to yourself to return one day.
If your grandad saw you, what would he say?
His house is now in ruins, dark forces reign.
All you ever strived for seems in vain

And //: everybody's leaving on the Last Chance Train ://
