Toeman Jones - Brakeman Bill

Brakeman Bill
Lived up in a hill
In the warmth of a mountain cave
Many a year
He did spread the good word
Many a soul
Did he save
He washed in the mud
Of the red stone water
And sailed in his
Rusty canoe
He said, "See I'm free
My foxhound and me
We do just what we want to

It's easy to dance in the shadows
Get straight, get a job and get paid
It might as well be dirt
For all that it's worth
When time will just wash it away"

Brakeman Bill said
"Child it's a thrill
To sit atop the highest rock
To feel the warm stone
Moulding beneath you
To hear the west wind talk"
He died there in the white sand
Like a daisy
Wilting in the sun

He said "nothing lasts
In this existence so vast
Your time is bound to come

It's easy to dance in the shadows
Get straight, get a job and get paid
It might as well be dirt
For all that it's worth
When time will just wash it away"
