End of the Line

End of the Line
 
The train is chugging away, steam so white
I have missed this departure, have to wait
Yet somehow, I know that all will be alright
 
This was your heaven, a transport of delight
Coming round the tracks, passing the gate
The train is chugging away, steam so white
 
And I weep again, as you depart from sight
A steam fayre, your ghost here, signals late
Yet somehow, I know that all will be alright
 
You have left me, gone into that dark night
Tracks curve away,  no longer so straight
The train is chugging away, steam so white
 
Your patience shone through all your plight
Like coals of fire, your dear heart's fate
Yet somehow, I know that all will be alright
 
Such bravery, you so fought the good fight
End of the line, junction to an altered state
The train is chugging away, steam so white
Yet somehow, I know that all will be alright
