Viewing lyrics for (intro: Whereto Now?) Tom's Train Song by Thomas Valle-Guatemala.

Whereto Now?
(intro - instrumental)

"Whereto, my spirit?"
he had asked himself.

his question echoing thru the depths
and chasms of his being
as he stood frontier's edge
upon a ledge.

all his life had led him here
to the edge.

a fledgling youth
had pledged the distance
meeting up with his familiar self
on this leg of the journey of the distance.

"Whereto NOW, my lonesome soul?"

Tom's Train Song
(words & music: Thomas Valle G.)
There's a train bound for nowhere
But you wouldn't know it 'less you stepped inside
Now that train won't stop until you get there
I rode this train once in my life
Yes, I rode it once in my life

It dropped me off somewhere between
Heaven and this wilderness I've come to claim my own
The only thing that keeps me company
Is the spirit of the wild and the winding road

There's a dream my heart once followed
Into the light of a woman's eyes
But I got tired of the beggin' and the sorrow
So I found the strength to finally say goodbye
Wherever I go, she's on my mind

Love kicked me off somewhere between
Heaven and this wilderness I've come to claim as my own
The only thing that keeps me company
Is the spirit of the wild and the winding road

There's a moon meant just for dreamers
Who travel with a path of heart
And in that moon, I swear to God I've seen her
Well, it could've been just a shadow from this far
Still, I'll find ya' woman, wherever you are

Somewhere here in-between
Heaven and this wilderness I've to claim as my own
The only thing that keeps me company
Is the spirit of the wild and the winding road
The only thing that keeps me stealth and walking
Is the spirit of the wild and a restless soul
