After you have gone
After you have gone to sleep
We will place a stone
At you hidden at your feet

Listen to the rail car
Rolling down the track
The lonely whistle told me
That you ain't coming back

Hear the engine coming
I know you're not alone
It's come to bring you, sister
It's come to bring you home

Know that when you get there
There will be no pain
And there will be no worry
Left upon your brain

I remember what you told me
I remember what you said
And when I held your hand
You were lying in your bed

So, I will keep it with me
Everywhere I go
And try to give a little
To everyone I know

'Cause you're in every song now
You're in everything I do
And when I feel I'm sinking
I will reach for you

We will take a grave now
We'll take it wide and dig it deep
And we will tell the children
That you have gone to sleep

Here the rails are singing
Listen to the song
Singing we will be together
Together be followed

Here the rails are singing
Listen to the song
Singing we will be together
Together be followed
