Genesis - Driving The Last Spike слова песни




Leaving my family behind meNot knowing what lay aheadWaving goodbye, as I left them in tearsRemembering all we`d saidI looked to the sky, I offered my prayersI asked Him for guidance and strengthBut the simple beliefs of a simple manLay in His hands, and on my headMy headI gave everything that they wantedBut still they wanted moreWe sweat and we toiledGood men lost their livesI don`t think they knew what forI sold them my heartI sold them my soulI gave everything I hadBut they couldn`t break my spiritMy dignity fought backFightbackJust fightbackCan you hear meCan you seeDon`t you hear meDon`t you seeWe worked in gangs for all we were worthThe young boys pulling the wagonsWe were digging the tunnels, shifting the earthIt was then that it happenedNo-one knew how the cracks appearedBut as it fell they all disappearedStone fell like rainCan you hear meCan you seeDon`t you hear meCan you breatheThe smoke cleared, the dust it settledNo one knew how many had diedAll around there were broken menThey`d said it was safe, and they`d liedYou could hear the cries, you could smell the fearBut good fortune that day was mineAnd it occurred to me that the heart of a good manIt seems is hard to findCan you hear meCan you seeDon`t you hear meDon`t you seeHow we worked, how we worked likeThe devil for our payThrough the wind, through the snowAnd through the rainBlasting and cutting through Gods country like a knifeSweat stinging my eyes, there has to be a better lifeBut I can hear my children`s cryI can see the tears in their eyesMemories of those I`ve left behindOh just still ringing in my earsWill I ever go back againWill I ever see her face againCos I`ll always remember that nightAs they waved goodbye to their fathersWe came from the SouthAnd we came from the NorthWith picks and with spadesAnd a new kind of orderShowing no fear of what lies up aheadThey`ll never see the likes of us againDriving the last spikeLifting and laying the trackWith blistering handsAnd the sun burning your backBut I can hear my children`s cryI can see the tears in their eyesOh memories of those I`ve left behindStill ringing in my earsCos I`ll always remember that nightAs they waved goodbye to their fathersWe followed the rail, we slept under the starsDigging in darkness and living with dangerShowing no fear of what lies up aheadThey`ll never see the likes of us againCan you hear meCan you seeDon`t you hear meDon`t you see
