love the feel of old railway stations...now mostly lost.

lyrics

Journey Song-capo 2 (E)

(D)I love the(A) feel of (G)old railway(A) stations,
At(D) journey’s be(Bm)ginning (Em)and at journey’s(A) end,
As (D)drifting through the(A) years my (G)mind starts to (A)wander,
(G)Like telling(D) stories (A)with an old (D)friend

I can still remember listening for that far off rumble
Rising and falling carried on the wind,
The deepening of the note as it went into the tunnel
The heartbeat of the engine as the light came round the bend.

(A)However far I wander, I’ll (G)soon be coming (D)home
(G)Past woods and streams and (Em)over bracken (A)sprays,
Your (D)rolling and your (A)swaying gave me (G)something to hold(A) onto,
A (G)memory (D)eternal in a (A)world of (Bm)change
A (G)memory (D)eternal in a (A)world of (D)change.

Those sights and smells and sounds stay with me each step of the way,
Back to the engine, safe within the past,
When the local people saved the line when they tried to close it,
In a world that’s so uncertain, we need those things to last.

However far I wander, I’ll soon be coming home

Past the (Am)old brickyard quarry,(Em) down the cinder track,
With(G) sweet reflection, step out of the(D) race,
(F#)Take time out, take (Gm) time to look back,
Let the(D) man become the (Em)child of yester(A)days.

However far I wander, I’ll soon be coming home
