Lyrics of The Mercy of the Wheels by John Gorka
I heard a train calling
Through the middle of the night
I heard the whistle
And the mercy of the wheels
It′s a hand to mouth existence
In a mouth to nothing world
I was longing
For the way I used to feel
I'd like to catch a train
That could go back in time
That could make alot of stops
Along the way
I would go to see me Father
With the eyes he left behind
I would go for all the words
I′d like to say
And I'd take along a sandwich
And a picture of my girl
And show them all
That I made out ok
I heard a train calling
Through the middle of the night
And I wondered if I
Should have gotten on
'Cause a train knows where it′s going
And when it′s time to go
And that it looks best
When it's already gone
I heard a train calling
Through the middle of a dream
And I wandered through the weeds
As it went by
Oh the trains they have the numbers
The nicknames and the nights
They know it′s ok
To run away and cry
I'd like to catch a train
That could go back in time
That could make alot of stops
Along the way
I would go to see me Father
With the eyes he left behind
I would go for all the words
I′d like to say
And I'd take along a sandwich
And a picture of my girl
And show them all
That I made out ok
I heard a train calling
Through the middle of the night
I heard the whistle
And the mercy of the wheels
