Under a broken sky

A ship sails away from the quay
Sails on without me
I watch it as it navigates across the
Vast Ocean
until it disappears into the Horizon

A train rolls out of the station
Rolls on without me
I listen to it as it thunders along
the track until I can hear it
No more

Years have passed and a ship lies
Rotting in the harbour
Lost in time a ghost train rides
An abandoned line

' By the roadside a lone drifter
Stands under a broken sky
With a bottle of Jack and regret
In his eyes
