A mournful sound of a train I’m not sure why Makes me want to cry Is it saying I’m going now Like it’s saying goodbye I might never see you again Or is it saying i will be back soon Wait for me Don’t move Pitiful mourning in the night When everything is sleeping Searing soulfully in the mist Why does this sound evoke emotion like this I get up so it can speak to me I grew up with it It’s familiar to this child A long comforting hug Maybe it’s the strength Maybe it’s the speed Maybe it’s the a far off loud A need to keep hearing It's only a whistle Holding in my memory

Train whistle
A mournful sound of a train I’m not sure why Makes me want to cry Is it saying I’m going now Like it’s saying goodbye I might never see you again Or is it saying i will be back soon Wait for me Don’t move Pitiful mourning in the night When everything is sleeping Searing soulfully in the mist Why does this sound evoke emotion like this I get up so it can speak to me I grew up with it It’s familiar to this child A long comforting hug Maybe it’s the strength Maybe it’s the speed Maybe it’s the a far off loud A need to keep hearing It's only a whistle Holding in my memory
One of my favorite sounds
