When I grow up, I want to be an engine driver. I'll build up my own head of steam Twenty-five horsepower.
Old hands, new power, more miles per hour Strange light in the ancient mills. New sights for old eyes, Giant leaps under small skies A sense of death in the hills.
But, when I pull off, I don't want to follow time tables or tracks. I will cut new paths through Topsoil and tarmac.
The only thing that I will leave behind is A simple trail: Two stark parallel lines That cut their way away Across the land, Which our children will preserve But won't understand.
