Gimme the power to know, gimme the strength to go I don't wanna have this lowdown feeling anymore Meet me at the station where the old train whistle blows Meet me at the last stop on the line I don't wanna spend my days chipping away at this statue I'd rather tear it down and start again Late one eve when the moon was high I found a parish on a hill Would the sun ever rise for me? I stood still as a statue, stiller even than stone Bathed in the light of a hundred sins But people can change you know I took one look at the cold hard ground And the gathering storm ahead All around me the devils did dance With the spirits of the dead I spent my time with whiskey and wine, Debts were growing one day at a time The life I chose was no-one else's but mine Gimme the power to know, gimme the strength to go I don't wanna have this lowdown feeling anymore Meet me at the station where the old train whistle blows Meet me at the last stop on the line
