Who was last seen Glooking G9at the Gtracks of the careless G9windGbeam,
GMovin' to the G9tracks Gof the G9tireless Gfreight train
And Glighting up G9the Gsides of the G9weather Gvane

And the Geyes of G9those Gwho G9think they Gsaw it haCppen.
Verse 1
CAah ah ah C9aah Cahhh, FAah ah ah F9aah Fahhh
DAah ah ah D9aah Dahhh
Looking at the tracks of the careless windbeam,
Movin' to the tracks of the tireless freight train
And lighting up the sides of the weather vane
And the bits of rain, and the window pane
And the eyes of those who think they saw what happened.
