| Pogues Peace And Love Tombstone (Jem Finer) The night is dark, the moon is full Across the blood red plain Every step and every breath Brings me nearer home The spirits watch me on my way They whisper on the wind And when the dawn lights up the sky I'll see my land again A hot wind blows the scrub and dust across the barren land Trees stand bare like skeletons The mountains all torn down The water holes are dry as bones No birds are singing now And faraway a city stands Tombst Night Train to Lorca (Jem Finer) Across the dark and dusty plain Where scars of old dry rivers run Night unfolds, a coal black shroud Across the hard and stony ground Distant stars shining bright In the cavern of the night All is still and silence screams To the thunder of the Lorca train Flaming steal swift as wind Wires hum the rails ring Smokestack burning fiery sparks Rise up to the stars Towns asleep by empty roads Churches rise from crooked roofs Cloaked in darkness nothing stirs Grow smaller darker disappear See the moon so still and cold A million stars that shed no warmth Your nightmares all come out to play In the silver light Wait for sunrise in the east Long shadows crawl across the plain The ghosts of night will disappear And lay your fears to rest Steam hissed up, the hot coals glowed The furnace blazed, the wheels they rolled On tracks of iron, straight and cold The silver moonlight danced The flames are in the fireman's eye Orange in the engines glow Gleaming pistons whirling cranks Wait for dawn the rooster's crow |
