A long time ago came a man on a track
Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
And he put down his load where he thought it was the best
And he made a home in the wilderness

He built a cabin and a winter store
And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
And the other travellers came walking down the track
And they never went further, no they never went back

Then came the churches; then came the schools
Then came the lawyers and then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the telegraph road

Then came the mines, then came the ore
Then there was the hard times then there was a war
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
Telegraph road got so deep and so wide like a rolling river...

And my radio says "tonight it's gonna freeze"
People driving home from the factories
There's six lanes of traffic, three lanes moving slow...

I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
Yes, and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed

And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
You can hear them singing out the telegraph code
All the way down the telegraph road

You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
When life was just a bet on a race between the lights
You had your hand on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care...

But believe in me baby and I'll take you away
From out of this darkness and into the day
From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain
From the anger that lives on these streets with these names

'Cos I've run every red light on memory lane
I've seen desperation explode into flames and I don't wanna see it again...
From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
All the way...down the telegraph road


Mirror lyrics:

All the way...down the telegraph road
From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
I've seen desperation explode into flames and I don't wanna see it again...
'Cos I've run every red light on memory lane

From the anger that lives on these streets with these names
From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain
From out of this darkness and into the day
But believe in me baby and I'll take you away

Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care...
You had your hand on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair
When life was just a bet on a race between the lights
You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights

All the way down the telegraph road
You can hear them singing out the telegraph code
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles

We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed
Yes, and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
I used to like to go to work but they shut it down

There's six lanes of traffic, three lanes moving slow...
People driving home from the factories
And my radio says "tonight it's gonna freeze"

Telegraph road got so deep and so wide like a rolling river...
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
Then there was the hard times then there was a war
Then came the mines, then came the ore

And the dirty old track was the telegraph road
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
Then came the lawyers and then came the rules
Then came the churches; then came the schools

And they never went further, no they never went back
And the other travellers came walking down the track
And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
He built a cabin and a winter store

And he made a home in the wilderness
And he put down his load where he thought it was the best
Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
A long time ago came a man on a track

Popular Songs:
lovestruck but heartbroken

is it love

another day has gone by

long journey home

when your lonely heart breaks

it's up to you

love is like a rock

deep down

do you remember

edge of the world

go go gadget gospel

don't feel like dancin'

a million things

l'autostrada

let you go

me synnyimme lã¤htemã¤ã¤n

katseilta suojaan

souvenir

suprãƒâ©matie

faith
