about

there's an old folk saying and it goes like this:
"there's a little black train a'coming, it's coming down the track, you've gotta ride that little black train but it aint gonna bring you back"

the night before terminal diagnoses, i walked josh to the underground subway and watched him hop that little black train

lyrics

it was this sickness that was bringing him down
he didn't wanna go nowhere, tried to scatter like a hound
there were no treatment in this whole wide land
that could bring him up, he was damned
headed to the station from the face of this world
hop a little black train and waved goodbye his girl

it was this sickness that was bringing him down
he didn't wanna go nowhere, tried to scatter like a hound
there were no treatment in this whole wide land
that could bring him up, he was damned
headed to the station from the chapel of love
