Liner Notes:

I didn't set out to have this one end up like it did but... strange how these things take on a mind of their own.

Edit: Awesome demo from @the3queens here http://fawm.org/songs/23711/

Lyrics:

Country side
Flashing by
Empty fields
Under Empty skies
Trees of green
Hills of blue
I’m coming home
Back
to you

Shining rails
Keeping time
Spinnin wheels
Spinnin down the line
Freight train blows
A mournful sound
wont be long
I’ll be back
In town

Seems so long
Since I went away
So many tears
To come your way
It was wrong
To make you cry
I should have stayed
By your side

I had to go
To a foreign land
Fighting wars
For older men
So justified
When we begin
But like all wars
No one wins

And I see you now
Standin’ there
Cryin eyes
And golden hair
Shaded by
A big oak tree
Looking at the flag
That covers me

Country side
Flashing by
Empty fields
Under Empty skies
Trees of green
Hills of blue
I’m coming home
Back
to you

Reminds me of "Love Vigilantes" (which I've always thought was a stupid title--"Coming Home" would have been better).

i love lyrics that use this sort of short template or whatever it is
anyway i got half way thru & thought this cant be written by blindkiwi & then hit verse 5 & knew it was indeed by you!

Really good B K, I'm working on a train song but yours is better
Flows perfectly to my ear
Great twist
