Sometimes The Trains Don't Roll
© 2011 by Eric Carl Dahl

I’m not so sure
He’s wrong and everyone else is right.
You all sound so righteous and so pure
But I won’t choose sides tonight.

Sometimes the trains don’t roll
Sometimes the trains don’t roll
Sometimes things get out of control
And the trains don’t roll, the trains don’t roll.

Maybe he crossed some lines that bend
But he always stood strong by my side.
So now when his troubles just won’t end
Am I supposed to run and hide?

Sometimes the trains don’t roll
Sometimes the trains don’t roll
Sometimes things get out of control
And the trains don’t roll, the trains don’t roll.

I don’t think it’s anyone’s place
To take pride in another man’s loss
And I don’t like the cold smile crossing your face
As he falls down hard carrying his own cross.

Sometimes the wrong hand takes the nail
Sometimes the power lines fail
Sometimes when the wind blows too stale
The ships don’t sail.

Sometimes the trains don’t roll
Sometimes the trains don’t roll
Sometimes things get out of control
And the trains don’t roll, the trains don’t roll.

Blackbird

I

Blackbird cackling in the courtyard,
Wisteria growing all twisted against the wall,
My true companions for the past two weeks –
Memories, that’s all.
You want me to take you back
Like a shark attack,
No baby, I don’t need another chance
To suffer and rise again.
I don’t intend to take any advice
That sets me up for sacrifice,
Somebody else can save your world.
Went walking in hell by the fiery sea,
Met some people a lot like me,
They’re still there with people like you.
Can’t think of anything I’d rather do
Than forget everything you put me through.

II

Mamma would you send me
Some of that Baton Rouge coffee.
No one out here ever makes it that strong.
I want to wake up and face the day clearly,
Been half asleep for way to long.
He wants me to take him back
Like a shark attack,
Oh no Mamma, I don’t need another chance
To suffer and rise again.
I don’t intend to take any advice
That sets me up for sacrifice.
Somebody else can save the world.
I went walking in hell by the fiery sea,
Met some people looked a lot like me,
That ever happen to you?
There must be something you’d rather do
Than talk about the things
I’ve just been through.
Blackbird singing in the courtyard.
Wisteria — blooming — against the wall.
Blackbird singing in the courtyard.
Wisteria blooming against the wall — Blackbird.

Eric Dahl is a songwriter with ties to the state of Washington on both sides of the Cascade mountains. He was born in Colville in the northeastern corner of the state. His father was a teacher from Spokane who soon moved with his family to western Washington. Dahl’s mother is a native of Leavenworth with relatives in the Wenatchee Valley. Eric grew up in Kent and south Seattle, but thanks to his maternal grandfather and uncles, he worked in the Leavenworth fruit orchards and hiked from an early age in the Cascade Mountains to the high lakes. Later he studied and published poetry at Whitman College in Walla Walla, the University of Washington in Seattle, and at Oxford University where he was awarded the Isis Poetry Prize.
