Took a job at a factory by the railway side
Where the trains roll by
Where the trains roll by
And a girl who was working there caught my eye
Where the trains roll by
Where the trains roll by
She moved like a shadow 'cross the factory floor
Where the trains roll by
Where the trains roll by
And I was watching from the shipping door
Where the trains roll by
Where the trains roll by
And the lonesome sound of the whistle's moan
Echoes in my blood and bones
Leaves us standing all alone
With what we keep inside
And the lonesome whistle's siren sound
Echoes Queen Street up and down
Echoes all around the town
And across the river wide
Upstairs it's the insect click of the boards
Where the trains roll by
Where the trains roll by
It's all ones and zeros, and never a word
Where the trains roll by
Where the trains roll by
We were putting in windows, looking south
Where the trains roll by
Where the trains roll by
And she caught me standing with no words
in my mouth
Where the trains roll by
Where the trains roll by
And the lonesome sound of the whistle's moan
Echoes in my blood and bones
Leaves us standing all alone
With what we keep inside
And the lonesome whistle's siren sound
Echoes Queen Street up and down
Echoes all around the town
And across the river wide
It's a world I could visit, I could never stay
Where the trains roll by
Where the trains roll by
I'll be gone by tomorrow at the end of the day
Where the trains roll by
Where the trains roll by
And the lonesome sound of the whistle's moan
Echoes in my blood and bones
Leaves us standing all alone
With what we keep inside
And the lonesome whistle's siren sound
Echoes Queen Street up and down
Echoes all around the town
And across the river wide
