Noah Zacharin - 17 Minute

17 Minute

flowing river don’t mean much to me
nor wind from the north rattling the leaves
only steam and whistle and wheels that shake the joint
metal on metal on to the vanishing point

train pass by every 17 minute
each one got one of my old loves in it
oh I’m gonna miss that train

sweet jellyroll and whiskey in the jar
I rolled for the nine I got snake-eyes in my own backyard
but I’m alright with how she got free
my watch keeps good time and my knife keeps me shining company

train pass by…

train blow a whistle like baby’s loving
sweet in the leaving as it is in the coming
oh I’m gonna miss that…

stars fall from a quiver in the sky
by a pond I shiver splashed by the sound of goodbye
but everything is diamond everything is coal
‘round a blues bend there’s a bluegrass banjo roll

train pass by…
