Sound & Light

The Union Pacific was traveling Northbound
Near midnight when it struck you

In my room, I'm awakened
By the godawful sound
Of the telephone ring
A sound that's still lingering

I imagine the sound and light overwhelmed you right away
And how the brakeman must have realized
Goddammit, just a little too late
And how your father cried, your friends all tried to pray
How they've never changed

You are sound and light
You are sound and light

There I am beside myself, it's a quarter to three
Clawing at the carpet on my knees
Trying to catch my breath

Mine was the last loyal face you ever saw
But I don't remember yours
How did I forget?

I imagine the sound and light overwhelmed you right away
And how the brakeman must have realized
Goddammit, just a little too late
And how your father cried, your friends all tried to pray
I've never been the same

You are sound and light
You are sound and light
You are sound and light
You are sound and light
