Lyrics

1 and 2 and 3 and…
In the shadows as she jumped the train
In the chapters they changed her name
Through the landslide with the word of warning
Through the landslide with the word of warning
I slept through that winter morning
Hangin’ around the parked car homestead
Living behind a steel frame woodshed
The ????
So we had somewhere to go
The fire was all soaked up
So we had somewhere to go
Seconds before the midnight showed
A family man turned up the radio
And in the chapters the names were changed
She jumped off the commuter train
Her faith came around with all those lunches
She wasn’t in the mood to share
It’s not quite time you see
Couldn’t you wait outside for me?
Following the queen who was sober and strong
The policeman tore him up inside
To the beggar he was on his way
To the law man he was on his way
Busted out of jail today
Seconds before the midnight news showed
The family man turned up the radio
And in the chapters the names were changed
She jumped off the commuter train
*Contact us if you can help correctly transcribe this song!*
