Skybound Station
Blackie and the Rodeo Kings Lyrics

People all arising
Everyone waking up

In the morning bright and breezy
It's a pleasant morning

Thinking back to yesterday
Reflecting on the past

When life seemed to be so easy
Remembering a simpler time

And is it just imagination
Questioning if it's real

Pictures in my mind
Mental images

Just like waiting at some skybound station
Like waiting for something that may never come

For the train to bring us a peace
Hoping for a peaceful outcome

We never find
But it never arrives

The river she flows so silently
The river flows quietly

Never knowing of her death
Not aware of what's to come

Never saying just what she feels
Doesn't express its emotions

Doesn't matter 'cause I love her none the less
But, still loved despite it all

Oh lord I'm falling again
Asking for divine help

Sweet Jesus hear me call your name
Calling out to Jesus for mercy

Have mercy on me now and then
Requesting mercy occasionally

Hey there goes a soldier boy
Observing a soldier walking by

Well I wonder where he's going
Wondering where the soldier is headed

Maybe home to see his girl
Possibly going home to visit a loved one

Do you think that she'll be showing?
Questioning if the girl will be there

And is it just his imagination
Asking if it's all in his head

Like a- waiting at some skybound station
Waiting for something that may not come

For the train to bring us a peace we never find
Hoping for a peaceful outcome that never comes

Time goes by the seasons change
Time passes and seasons shift

And our lives go quickly by
Life is fleeting

The time we have is short to us
We don't have much time

Yet we find it pays to try
But it's still worth the effort

Have mercy on me now and then
Requesting mercy occasionally
