ONLY TIME WILL TELL

from SLOW TRAUMA by Bill Mallonee (March/2016)

lyrics

Only Time Will Tell words & music: bill mallonee

Burlington/Northern; Old Santa Fe
Just an old brakeman; 3 dollars a day
Star-shine is my friend and the pulse of the rails
where it's all going? Only time will tell

All those company men and the plain curious
Seeking their fame & fortune opening up the West
Parcelling out the earth with the barbed wire & hard sell
Where it's all going? Only time will tell

You got your bonanza towns and turning up the soil
a kind of madness taking hold

Change is coming fast so I am told
Who knows if our heavy hearts could ever bear the load?
Flash of a coin and we go under the spell
Where it's all going? Only time will tell
