Listen & view Railroad Earth - Lone Croft Farewell lyrics & tabs

The stakes are in the meadow . . the fields are overgrown the winds of change are blowin' through the place that i've called home they're diggin' at the edges . . to build the power line same old story . . but now the story's mine so build a fire & throw in . . the papers & the past no need to try & save it now . . it's never gonna last it's a starry night . . the moon is bright . . let's call the old owl in let him know we're leavin' . . say goodbye old friend goodbye to the years here, they have flown goodbye to the only home I've known the wheels of the world are rollin' thru & if this door is closing' . . i guess I'm rollin' too for 14 years my family . . walked these crooked floors 40 years before my father opened up the doors a stony stand . . it all began 300 years before what story is beginning? if this one is no more? goodbye to the years here, they have flown goodbye to the only home i've known the wheels of the world are movin on' & if this door is closing' . . i guess it's time i'm gone feels like a wave that can't be stopped a coming day . . my heart will drop feels like a war that won't be won . . without a gun so goodbye bird & bear goodbye tree & land goodbye to all i know like knowin' the back of my hand i'll walk the grounds & make the rounds of this place i've loved so well fire up the diesel . . bid a last lone croft farewell goodbye to the years here, they have flown goodbye to the only home i've known the wheels of the world are rollin' thru & if this door is closing' . . i guess i'm rollin' too
