Rock and rattle down the rail

The morning mist’s insipid pale

Hugging the earth’s hardened façade

I slept not knowing my pain

I slumbered with a smile

Yet awake with new knowledge

She’s the one I heard about

Rock and rattle down the rail

My weak words so few so frail

Packed earth emotions, stone cold

I slept not knowing my pain

I slumbered with a smile

Yet awake with new knowledge

She’s the one that lost them

Rock and rattle down the rail

Condolences rise only to fail

Not a tear I shed, thou I feel I must

I slept not knowing her pain

I slumbered with a smile

Yet awake with new knowledge

She screamed into the night

Rock and rattle down the rail

Rock and rattle down the rail
