Lyrics Guadalcanal Diary

Guadalcanal Diary

Spirit Train

I watch these woods at night

On lonely roads at night

I wait in vain for the spirit train

On a windy hill, by a mossy stone

I stand alone

A great white horse in a grassy plain

Waits to move again for the spirit train

And I wonder how long

I wonder how long

And I know not long

In the wilderness where a city once stood

A wild forgotten stream

The weeds grow tall and cover it all

The smiling face of a cracked green stone

Wait to move alone to the spirit train

And I wonder how long

I wonder how long

And I know not long

And I hear a voice in the darkness call

Across the sky to the lead them all

To the spirit train
