 Lucy


Well
he found her in the back
where the railroad track
took a little turn
and the switch engine came
and the switch engine went
at a slow burn
and you could
hear its whistle
every time
for the road ahead
and the road behind
but you'd never know
when he would be seen
with his Lucy again

   Oh oh oh
   bubbles in the water
   bubbles in the air
   I had some dreams once
   I wanted to share
   but just as I woke up
   bang bang bang
   they popped

Now
he thought that was her horse
that had eased off course
chewing flowers down
where the Sims' gulley fell
near his dad's town
and you could
hear it whistle
every while
like a fear that stares
or a fear that smiles
but you'd never know
when he would be seen
with his Lucy again

   (Chorus)

Yes
he kissed her in the field
while the tractor's wheels
toasted in the sun
and the boys happened in
and the boys happened out
with their toy guns
and you could
hear them whistle
every night
for the dream begun
for the dreaming done
but you'd never know
when he would be seen
with his Lucy again

   (Chorus)


                        1975     Brian Salchert
