They say that the fountains in the mountains are free
But I’ve heard that the rivers all run into the sea
There are times in the evening when the waves want to rest
They keep coming back, 'cause the ocean knows best
 
Long before dawn broke, I heard trains coming back
I heard people chanting, I heard clickety-clack
They sang of a city not on rock not on sand
I heard people singing songs in a strange land
 
Clickety, clickety, clickety, clickety-clack
Been to the city, to the city and back
I heard people singing, back to back on the trains
Send our sad hearts laughter and our dry roots rain
Send our sad hearts laughter and our dry roots rain
 
They walked out the station
They walked on to the beach
They shook off the sand
Shook the sand off their feet
And others came running from the west to the east
Back from the ocean and back to beach
 
Some hunt for silver and others for gold
Some search for love at least so I’ve been told
Some beg for mercy, some long for rain
I heard someone whisper, Look, here comes the train
 
Clickety, clickety, clickety, clickety-clack
Been to the city, to the city and back
I heard people singing, back to back on the trains
Send our sad hearts laughter and our dry roots rain
Send our sad hearts laughter and our dry roots rain
 
Clickety, clickety, clickety, clickety-clack
Been to the city, to the city and back
I heard people singing, back to back on the trains
Send our sad hearts laughter and our dry roots rain
Send our sad hearts laughter and our dry roots rain
