![]() Marc Cohn (1991) [ larger cover art ] |
Everybody talks about some fateful day
And I guess that this was mine
I may be here to tell some kind of story
But I think it's gonna take a little time
(That's all right)
See I'm rockin' in a cradle
Down the hall somewhere and I am--
Lost inside a dream
Maybe I am falling
Maybe I am flying
But I know if I am crying she is
Holding me
And then the sky broke up
And then the rain came down
And it washed away everything on the ground
Wash it away
Wash it away
Wash it away
Now baby's got that bottle
Filled up with lightning and rain
He keeps calling out for someone
But she's riding on a train
Riding on the ghost train
And she keeps on riding
She's gonna keep on riding
Mama keep on riding
Keep on riding
Some trains they leave in the moming
Some leave in the afternoon
Some trains they leave here
Right on time
And some they just leave too soon
Way too soon
But I'm gonna keep on...
Now baby's got that bottle
Filled up with lightning and rain
He keeps calling out for someone
But she's riding on a train
Riding on the ghost train
And she keeps on riding
And she keeps on riding
She's gonna keep on riding
Keep on riding
Now baby's got that bottle
Filled up with lightning and rain
He keeps calling out for someone
But she's riding on a train
Riding on the ghost train
Riding on the ghost train
Riding on the ghost train
Riding on the ghost train
Riding on the ghost train

I get teary thinking about it. He's a consummate musician and human being. Saw him in DC in 1998 the night before finding out I was going to be a Dad....it was an awesome night, made better by the news the next day. |

| nagsheadlocal (North Carolina, the new New Jersey) | Posted: Dec 29, 2009 - 07:14 If you ever get a chance to see Cohn live, do so. He has an incredible booming voice, only David Crosby has (had?) a voice as big. |

| Pyro | Posted: Mar 06, 2008 - 08:05 I own this, but hadn't heard it in a long time. Very nice, indeed. Flavors of Jaco on bass (on Joni's albums) and Bruce Cockburn. |

| Mugro (Lane Village, Red Sox Nation) | Posted: Mar 26, 2007 - 12:38 This song is just making the playlist? This is almost an oldie now. Oldie but goodie though. Several good tunes on this album. |
