Engineer Says

Engineer says there's a body on the tracks Draped in greens and raging rain and want The color gray was creeping in like bones, like timeless days Phrases left his body and his memories on those tracks Calmed his mind and left his flesh and bones For where are the things? The shallow digs now he calls The Swamp his home Baby told the navy to go bring him back Said the eyes have gone and made him leave She cause a simple plee: Make them pay And make them bring my baby back to me Oh engineer says there's a body on the tracks Dancing slow and looking left for dead Phrases dreams of simple things And the fall of men
