Am 
The morning breeze is off and gone 
F                   Em 
The winding factory streets are clean 
Am 
Old ladies put the kettle on 
F                   E 
And all-night lechers pause and lean 
Dm                   G 
On grey shop windows, everywhere 
Am                   Am     G/B 
A deeper hum is in the air 
C       G      F      Am         G 
Hotel room, a drifter leaves no clues

Am 
He rides a freight-train out of town 
F                   Em 
And whistles at the icy rime 
Am 
The cattle float like thistle-downs 
F                   E 
And God is on the edge of time 
Dm                   G 
Somewhere behind a siren wails 
Am                   Am     G/B 
The freight-train soars above the rails 
C            G       F        Am          G 
The traveller, he's hard as nails as the train sweeps down the line

Am 
The salmon Season's here to stay 
F                    Em 
And etched into each shoulder-bone 
Am 
The mark of Cain is on display 
F                   E 
As stone above each measured stone 
Dm                 G 
Old Dresden burns above the breeze 
Am                    Am     G/B 
The traveller, he's on his knees 
C             G           F        Am        G 
He's watching sledge-wings dip and play so far above the holy throne, hey yeah
