Ghost Train

Ghost Train
I took the cannonball down to the ocean
Across the desert from sea to shining sea
I rode a latter that climbs across the nation
Fifty million feet of earth between the buried and me
\"Hey how do you do?\"
She said, \"Hey how do you do?\"

She buys a ticket 'cause it's cold where she comes from
She climbs aboard 'cause she's scared of getting older in the snow
Love is a ghost train rumbling through the darkness
Hold on to me darling I've got nowhere else to go
\"How do you do?\"
She said, \"How do you do?\"
I took the cannonball down to the ocean
Watched the diesel disappear beneath the tumbling waves
Love is a ghost train howling on the radio
\"Remember everything.\" she said, \"when only memory remains.\"
\"How do you do?\"
She said, \"How do you do?\"
