lyrics

It was down at the station
It was pouring down rain
And the Fall was the season
When that wall of water came

It was down at the station
It was pouring down rain
And the Fall was the season
When that wall of water came
It came down through the valley
To the folks on down the hill
They would try so hard to fight it
But the water came in still

Like the wail of the engine
Of a hungry railroad train
Came the wind, oh a'howling
Through the air and through my brain
It was like you can't imagine
To run would be in vain
Just grab ahold of something
Before you float away

It was down at the station
It was pouring down rain
And the Fall was the season
When that wall of water came
It came down through the valley
To the folks on down the hill
They would try so hard to fight it
But the water came in still

Now, the truth of the matter
If the truth is to be told
All the lives that get shattered
Bring another man his gold
And the forces of nature
With all it's fame and awe
Chooses who, who will suffer
And who will take the fall

It was down at the station
It was pouring down rain
And the Fall was the season
When that wall of water came
It came down through the valley
To the folks on down the hill
They would try so hard to fight it
But the water came in still
