lyrics

On the platform there’s a man
smiling at the camera stand
and a signal flag is resting in his hand
In the distance, very small
stands a boy who holds a ball
but we don’t know what he thinks about it all

Just around the railroad bend
you can see the smoke and then
summer guests will soon descend
in white and grey
‘Cause their train will soon be here
although it is pretty clear
that it’s now a hundred years
since that fine day

A young woman hurriedly
heading for the grocery
in a large hat and with sparkling energy
But she stays where she is bound
her raised foot won’t touch the ground
‘though the grocery long ago has been torn down

Just around the railroad bend…

Down to the station a bellboy has been sent from the Grand Hotel
He carries luggage until his back is bent at the Grand Hotel
Now he’s on tiptoe in a uniform that’s up to date
Although he’s gone since long ago, forever here he’ll wait

Just around the railroad bend…

Now what is and what has been
still don’t say what it all means
so your questions won’t be answered, so it seems
But the photograph will keep
this one summer fresh and neat
like a dream you might have dreamt once in your sleep

Another GREAT! live album release and one that perhaps offers plenty of variety of the longer time slot and the set list which features a few surprises. Once again Jones is playing on his own and delivers the goods with his truly GREAT! performances and usual humour and interaction with the crowd. His presence alone makes it more warm and inviting and there is plenty here to get your teeth into. Highly recommended... Lee Lucas
