Telegraph Road Songtext
von TemperToo

They tell me that I′m not the great believer
In spirits that will visit from the past
But when I walked alone where once were sleepers
I saw navvies that were digging at the cast

The sound of steam, the smell of those great engines
Now overgrown, the old road still survives
Forging over streams and bridging rivers
Progress speeding over time, I say...

On the Telegraph Road
Keep moving on, moving on
On the Telegraph Road
People don't understand, understand
That′s how it rolls
On the Telegraph Road

They came and took away the sleepers
But they left the trackside poles
To become a faint and understood reminder
Communication started by the rails


Every single mile of the new railroad
Cable was suspended by the track
And with every inch of that invention
A wire that could send a message back

On the Telegraph Road
They were moving on. moving on
On the Telegraph Road
People don't understand, understand
So it goes
On the Telegraph Road

They said the days of steam were nearly over
So they tore up miles and miles of track
But now we rue those changes
And we're never going to get it back

On the Telegraph Road
They were moving on, moving on
On the Telegraph Road
People don′t understand, understand
So it goes
On the Telegraph Road
