letra de ais gill - dave goulder
[verse 1]
nineteen hundred and ten, christmas eve at hawes junction
lights of a passenger train shine through curtains of wind-driven rain, setting the scene for destruction
[verse 2]
light engines waiting to go, two to carlisle returning
two others making for leeds, and a goods train passing at speed — and one on the table for turning
[verse 3]
well, the northbound passenger’s late;
the signalman gives her the main line
forgetting the carlisle men, who consider the green is for them, set off for home on the samе line
[verse 4]
onlookers rooted to clay
a sound holds еvery attention —
out of the stormy darkness, the london-to-glasgow express pursuing the carlisle engines
[verse 5]
hurtling onto ais gill
the moorc-ck tunnel astride her
she bursts out into the night, and straight ahead is the light — slow-moving engines to guide her
[verse 6]
a horrified driver looks round
to the night train rushing upon them;
his whistle hangs on the air like the anguish of despair, torn from the man who condemned
[verse 7]
steel hammers hardened to steel;
carriages crumple to splinters
gas spills onto the flames, and fire takes over the train, travelling strewn among cinders
[verse 8]
nineteen hundred and ten, christmas eve at hawes junction
lights of a passenger train through curtains of wind-driven rain — setting the scene for destruction
