Check your time plan station master

and bless the 3:45

she's rolling fast and free

and don't she look just like me

spitting off smoke

and all empty inside

I left my baby down on a city street

our love followed the course of the sun

it rose above the city skyline

and sunk behind the turnpike oil drums… well


Come on now mister conductor

come on and seal my fate

I was raised to find my way

now I'm going to find my state of grace


So I went walking down the edges of the city

to the iron lady and the holy land

with no English my family came

and money left a stain on their foreign hands

I don't know how some people do it

they just walk away and they

don't look back…

under a river in a cold mud tunnel

my grandfather's ghost's still

slamming the jack… well


Come on now mister conductor

come on and seal my fate

I was raised to find my way

now I'm going to find my state of grace


Last night I had a dream of forgiveness

we were walking on some sacred ground

and a light fell from heaven with a promise

That all lost things are someday found… well.


Come on now mister conductor

come on and seal my fate

I was raised to find my way

now I'm going to find my state of grace

I'm going to find my state of grace
