about

Little bit of trivia....There is a band 'The Steam Train Hearts' who say this track inspired their name. Fun, right?

lyrics

Ghost of a Steam Train Heart

When trains go to sleep they dream of chasing yellow moons
Devouring the glistening steel rails
There are phantom hobos in my head with coal dust in their eyes
Busy collecting scraps to build a home
Nervous pistons pumping
The pressure in my chest is building fast

I can hear the nimble brakemen, connecting rambling thoughts
Ghost of a steam train heart
What I do now on means something- rumbling down the line
Ghost of a steam train heart

I’m traveling all alone
Loose change in my heart
A suitcase full of faith
The ominous unknown

Straining up the hill the engineer yells for more
Another shovel of coal in the box
I push my plate aside because I’ve reached the boiling point
I’ve been answering to others for too long
Nervous pistons pumping
The pressure in my chest is building fast

I can hear the nimble brakemen, connecting rambling thoughts
Ghost of a steam train heart
What I do now on means something- rumbling down the line.
Ghost of a steam train heart

I’m traveling all alone
Loose change in my heart
A suitcase full of faith
The ominous unknown
