Bury Me Where That Train Passes By

With apologies to Otis Gibbs here is the fourth song in my attempt to write A Song A Week (as challenged by Billy Sea.) This is obviously a rip off from the last track on Otis Gibbs' last disc. (Otis should have a new disc out this year, most likely in April.)

I have a few songs similar to this and when I get enough I'll put them all together in a package of some sort. Till then they'll just sit idle most likely.




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

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
