Gillian Welch - Woodland

Empty Trainload of Sky

Saw a freight train yesterday
It was chugging, plugging away

'Cross a river trestle so high
Just a boxcar blue
Showing daylight clear through
Just an empty trainload of sky

Well, it hit me and it hurt me
Made my good humor desert me
For a moment I was tempted to fly
To the Devil or the Lord
As it hung there like a sword
Just an empty trainload of sky

Was it spirit? Was it solid?
Did I ditch that class in college?
Pulled the curtain from my eye
I said hey hey, my my

Saw a freight train yesterday
It was chugging, plugging away

Just an empty trainload of sky
Just an empty trainload of sky
Just an empty trainload of sky
