Kate sings of 50 words for snow
We thought of 27 more
The R1 had vanished in the white
Resting, made angels in the snow
The screen white, so many miles to go
Hours pass, we see no other cars
Fear wins, we turn and head for home
The pink shade of sky will light the way
Northern Lights hide behind the clouds

I Wish They'd Stayed

The journey of my lifetime
Has seen some friends slip far away
Their music fills my memory
I wish they’d stayed
We stood on the stage
And played it loud back in those days
We thought we were the rock gods
I wish they’d stayed
So Brian tried, to put me straight
On Palestine, to explain the hate
And there was Keith, always the clown
His keyboards sang, was never down
So Trevor raged, against his pain
His music screamed, time and again
These were my friends, their loss profound
And I’ll play on, I’ll make their sound

Try as I might, I can’t get my bike up this hill
The rain in my face, the wind slows my wheels
My car’s broken down, I stand on the verge
The rain in my face, reflects how I feel
So I climb up the rigging, and reach for the highest mast
In the hope that I’m seeing, my home where I’ll rest at last
I don’t have those red shoes, I can’t click my heels and fly
But I know I will be there, there’s no place like you
I stand at the gate, my flight’s in the sky
Despite my appeals, I’m not gonna fly
The train’s broken down, wrong leaves on the track
I stare at my watch, I need to get back

Thomas is the naughty one, lots of scrapes and so much fun
Ivor struggles up that hill, Jones the Steam just drives him on
Casey Jones he strode the West, on his Cannonball Express
Stephenson’s the Rocket Man, laid the tracks , away he ran
Through the steam my Daddy’s home!, railway children, they’re all fine,
Orient Express she flies, likely death for those inside
Blow the bridge, the river Kwai, watch the train fall through the sky
One by one they meet their end as the train comes round the bend
I remember the age of steam
I remember the age of steam
The essence of children’s dreams
I remember the age of steam

Let Me Belong

Arrived in the next town, things would be better for me
Away from the memories, the pain searing misery
I carry all I have, the clothes on my back this is it
Those doors are all closed now, I’m done with that crazy shit
Let me belong
A room with a bath please, no bag I am travelling light
I travel for business, left all of the pleasure behind
Why ask the questions?, I’m giving you all that I can
Just need to sleep now, then I can sort out my plan
Let me belong
Not all are welcome, my story would frighten them all
Best kept a secret, it’s my life I’m making that call
Arrived in the next town, things would be better for me
Those doors are all closed now, I’m done with that crazy shit
Let me belong
