lyrics

On the north bank of the river
There’s a place no eyes have seen
It’s neither hell nor heaven
But some lonesome in-between
And I swear I’m gonna find it
If it’s the last fool thing I do
Gonna gather up a jar of dirt
And stumble home to you

Oh honey, don’t you worry
Oh honey, don’t you cry
I’m heading off to find the place
Where the trains go to die

That rusty, ancient railyard
Where the iron horses rest
Some say the ground is cursed there
Some say the ground is blessed
There’s only one track leading in
And none that lead away
I know that I belong there
But I promise not to stay

Oh honey, don’t you worry
Oh honey, don’t you cry
I’m heading off to find the place
Where the trains go to die

And I swear I’m gonna find it
If it means the death of me
To finally cast my doubts aside
And set my spirit free

Oh honey, don’t you worry
Oh honey, don’t you cry
I’m heading off to find the place
Where the trains go to die
I’m gonna find that sacred place
Where the trains go to die
