lyrics

Lyrics by Robert Landy, Music by David Rinaldi
Verse 1
The train into the city, along the Hudson River
Sing Sing’s razor wire, white heron on a stone.
Verse 2
The train along the Hudson, the playground in the snow, the whitecaps on the water, the trees are bare and cold.
Verse 3
A houseboat on the water, the coast guard cruising by, the geese fly in formation, McMansions in the sky.
Bridge
Ah…. Ah….
CHORUS
The train speeds to the city, it runs along two rivers,
Commuters in their headphones,
A long, long, long way from home.
About eight hours later, the shifts are finally over,
The passengers load up again,
The train will bring them home again, the train will bring them home again
Verse 4
The naked weeping willows, on the banks of Spuyten Duyvil, apartment sales in Riverdale, an old dog in a yard.
Verse 5
The ring of Yankee Stadium, the canyon of the heroes,custom injection molding, Sin City on the sly.
Verse 6
The gateway to Grand Central, a hundred Harlem projects, half the car is texting, renovations everywhere.
