People all arising
In the morning bright and breezy
Thinking back to yesterday
When life seemed to be so easy
[Chorus]
And is it just imagination?
Pictures in my mind?
Like waiting at some skybound station
For the train to bring me the peace
I never find
The river she flowed so silently
Unknowing of her death
Never showing just what she feels
Doesn't matter 'cause I love her nonetheless
[Chorus]
And is it just imagination?
Pictures in my mind?
Like waiting at some skybound station
For the train to bring me the peace
I never find
Whoa lord I'm falling again
Sweet Jesus hear me call your name
Whoa lord I'm falling again
Have mercy on me now and then
Hey there goes a soldier boy
Well I wonder where he's going
Maybe home to see his girl
Do you think that she'll be showing?
And is it just his imagination?
Pictures in his mind?
Like a- waiting at some skybound station
For the train to bring him the peace
You never find
Whoa lord I'm falling again
Sweet Jesus hear me call your name
Whoa lord I'm falling again
Have mercy on me now and then
Time goes on, the seasons change
Well our lives roll quickly by
The time we have is short on us
Yet we find the strength to try
[Chorus]
And is it just our imagination?
The pictures in our minds?
Like waiting at some skybound station
For the train to bring us some peace
We never find
Oh lord I'm falling again
Sweet Jesus hear me call your name
Oh lord I'm falling again
Have mercy on me now and then
Have mercy on me now and then
Have mercy on me now and then
