The Train Leaving Sanctuary, a lyric blog by Alan Ewing

 






The Train Leaving Sanctuary
 a lyric blog by Alan Ewing



A beloved figure disappears on a distant horizon 
While an enchanted being sends messages in the air
There is wisdom in the words of one who offers future meetings
But the road ahead is long and hard in its outlook

It's Time to take the train from sanctuary
And see what's on the other side
Time to move on and build anew
And come to terms with what's been left behind

Mist clings to the hills as emptiness fills the side of mountains
There is melancholy in the dew-drops as they fall from the trees 
Autumn announces itself in the wind that whistles in the night
And Winter beckons as thoughts turn to the return of Sping

It's Time to take the train from sanctuary
And see what's on the other side
Time to move on and build anew
And come to terms with what's been left behind
