Poor, Poor Pitiful Me

i laid down on the railroad tracks,

hoping for God to finish me.

as the rain came pouring,

the thunder came rolling,

i wished the sun was over me.

but her warmth didn't come,

her cold breath came instead.

the snow settled all over me.

finally i could hear the engine,

i close my eyes.

oh Lord is it over for me?

but the end never came -

has He spared me?

i raised my head over the railroad tracks,

i see the demolition team.

turns out

the train don't come through,

here no more.

poor, poor, pitiful me.
