Chorus
Railroad, searchlight
Memories and melodies flood his mind
Songbook, leaf by leaf
Haunted by a long lost love
​
Verse
Like a stray arrow the bridge points nowhere, anywhere
Shored up by pillars in obscure colour
Amid the dust and glow there stands a silhouette
It lingers and quivers, gazes at him
​
Bridge
While the pen in his pocket is left with nothing, but nothing to say
​
Chorus
Railroad, searchlight
Memories and melodies flood his mind
Songbook, leaf by leaf
Haunted by a long lost love
​
Verse
From the depth of his chest there comes a call
A sorry reminder ‘forsake me not’
But the man, he ain‘t no pilgrim
He’s just busy chasing that ghost
​
Bridge
But the pen in his pocket has nothing, but nothing to say
​
Bridge
Ah the pen in his pocket has got nothing to say
But with nothing in his pocket, what is there left to say
​
Chorus
Railroad, searchlight
Memories and melodies flood his mind
Songbook, leaf by leaf
Haunted by a long lost love
