After you have gone
After you have gone to sleep
We will place the stones
At your head and at your feet
Listen to the railcar
Rolling down the track
The lonely whistle told me
That you ain't coming back
♪
Hear the engine coming
Know you're not alone
It's come to bring you sister
It's come to bring you home
Know that when you get there
There will be no pain
And there will be no worry
Left upon your brain
♪
I remember what you told me
I remember what you said
And when I held your hand
You were laying in your bed
I will keep it with me
Everywhere I go
And try to give a little
To everyone I know
Because you're in every song now
You're in everything i do
And when I feel I'm sinking
I will reach for you
♪
We will dig your grave now
Dig it wide and dig it deep
And we will tell the children
That you have gone to sleep
Hear the rails a'singin'
Listen to the song
Singing we will be together
Together before long
