Lyrics
When I was a child I
Used to wander here
Make believe on the railroad ties
Trains to anywhere
Now a lifetime later I still
Hold this place dear
But no one's heard those whistles blow
In over 20 years
Dry hills in the back drop
The sunset hits the tracks
I'm fading down these rusted lines
There's no turning back
This is the long winding down
Letting go of dreams that
Never came around
The long winding down
And only when you let go
Can you see what you have found
Winding down
Well I was young and wild and somewhat
Broken inside
It didn't matter which train I took
I was runnin' from my life
I left it all behind like there was
Somewhere to be
A picture in my mind now
All the things I'll never see
The long winding down
Letting go of dreams that
Never came around
The long winding down
And only when you let go
Can you see what you have found
Winding down
Dry hills in the back drop
The sunset hits the tracks
I'm fading down these rusted lines
There's no turning back
The long winding down
Letting go of dreams that
Never came around
The long winding down
And only when you let go
Can you see what you have found
Winding down
