Our little train, starts and stops and then it starts again
Ladies and gentlemen, oh have no fear, we’re almost there, and sorry for the wait
Mother nature wins again today
He said, there ain’t no better rest since the womb then on a fair bound train
He said, there ain’t no better rest since the womb then on a fair bound train
Oh I can’t wait to see him again
Choo chooooooooo
Our little train, stops and starts and then it stops again

Engine down, down, down, down
In Winterpeg town, town, town, town
Keep your apples up, there’s no need to frown
Though the engine’s down, in Winterpeg town
What time is lunch?
Oh I’ve got a hunch
That’s all I need to worry about today
What time do we sing?
I can’t help but think
That’s all I need to put a smile on my face
Engine’s down, down, down, down
In Winterpeg town, town, town, town
Keep your apples up, there’s no need to frown
Though the engine’s down, in Winterpeg town
Manisnowba is freezing they told us
Old man winter, loves a delay
It’s so damn cold, should be illegal
But this little train keeps us cozy and safe
I’ve a smile on my face though the…
Engine’s down, down, down, down
In Winterpeg town, town, town, town
Keep your apples up, there’s no need to frown
Though the engine’s down, in Winterpeg town
Engine’s down, down, down, down
In Winterpeg town, town, town, town

Freight train won’t you let us by?
We are 13 hours behind
I’m in no rush but bear in mind,
Please get us home some time
Freight train won’t you let us by?
We are 20 hours behind
Get out and walk the track should I?
Please do keep us in mind
Black birds, deer herds, little towns I’ve never seen
One track, haystacks, white snow glistening
I am listening to everything I see
I am listening to everyone I meet
And just as I’m about to
And just as I’m about to
Just as I’m about to pray this never ends
Just as I’m about to pray this never ends
We stop again…
Freight train won’t you let us by?
We are 40 hours behind
Your cargo’s worth more than our time
Do keep us in mind
Please get us home some time

I forgot your middle name, does that mean it’s over?
I’ve forgotten who’s to blame, I guess that means it’s over?
But I am sittin’ on rock bottom
With a heart full of everybody’s problems
And we ain’t taking on any water
Must’ve been the molly that’s making you smile so wide, with you eyes all pied
Couldn’t have been your dolly darling, if I tried, oh my hands are tied
Cause I am sittin’ on rock bottom
With a heart full of everybody’s problems
And we ain’t taking on any water
Still as the night, dark as the tide, flat on my back and dying inside
You reached out for me
Still as the night, dark as the tide, flat on my back, and dying inside
You reached out and never let go
No doubt in my mind hunny, it was your light, that brought me safely to shore
In the storm
No doubt in my mind hunny, it was your light, that brought me safely back to shore
In the wicked storm
But I am sittin’ on rock bottom
With a heart full of everybody’s problems
And we ain’t taking on any water

Father, why you gotta be so cruel?
Father, why you gotta be so mean?
I've been going back in time,
I'm seeing things that don't feel right.
Keep it up now, keep it tight,
shake it to the rhythm I'm up all night.
Father, oh you know a lady rules
Father, oh I show you what I mean
I've been going back in time,
I'm seeing things that don't feel right.
Keep it up now, keep it tight,
shake it to the rhythm I'm up all night.

Sarah Osborne Victoria, British Columbia
Sarah's sultry voice is a colourful velvet painting in a second-hand store. Exotic, dark, and textured, it beckons us, in its nostaglia, to bring it home and hang it on the wall, to remind us of a time that was, and a part of ourselves that is sweet, simple, and real. ... more
