Does anyone have any idea what the lyrics signify? To me it suggests that we all die and take the long black train .... but I'm probably completely wide of the mark .. you may mock me at will!
I interpreted it along those lines Prudence, so we may be wrong together.
To be honest I've given up trying to understand lyrics. I've adopted a
Sun reader's approach...if they sound nice and conjure up a feeling or two, then they work for me. Some people get hung up trying to read too much into words.
I remember tunes quite easily. Not words. Long Black Train is a beautiful song. Haunting.
