Dark Southern Folk & Blues | Freight Yard Promises - GHOST OF THE SOUTH
Lyrics by：Andrew M
Composed by：Andrew M
The train clicks like a pocket watch counting on my sin
A lantern swings in the cold night air witness to where I've been
I held her hand I swore it true said I'd never let her (be) afraid
With the tracks are long and I lost my grip promises slip away
Freight Yard promises they rattle and they groan
The weight of what I said still cuts into the bone
I swore to build a future but the past is all I've known
Freight Yard promises they leave a man alone
I told my boy I teach him right how to stand how to fight
But I chase shadows lost today and he slipped in through the night
The iron hums of dirt tonight like it knows my every lie
A fresh start feels a world away beneath this aching sky
The gravel shifts beneath my boots each step a hollow sound
How many miles to redemption's door?
How long till I turn around?
Freight Yard promises they rattle and they groan
The weight of what I said still carves into the bone
I swore to build a future but the past is all I've known
Freight Yard promises they leave a man alone
The whistle blows like a broken bell warning I can't shake
Every oath I've failed on her it goes in its way
Woo woo woo woo
