The smoke cleared, the dust it settled No one knew how many had died All around there were broken men They'd said it was safe, they'd lied You could hear the cries, you could smell the fear But good fortune that day was mine And it occurred to me the heart of a good man It seems is hard to find Can you hear me, Can you see Don't you hear me Don't you see We worked, how we worked like The devil for our pay Through the wind, through the snow And through the rain Blasting and cutting through gods country like a knife Sweat stinging my eyes, there has to be a better life Ah but I can hear my children's cry I can see the tears in their eyes Memories of those I've left behind Still ringing in my ears Letras de cancionesWill I ever go back again Will I ever see her face again I'll never forget that night As they waved goodbye to their fathers We came from the north, And we came from the south With picks and with spades And a new kind of order Showing no fear of what lies up ahead They'll never see the likes of us again Driving the last spike Lifting and laying the track With blistering hands The sun burning your back Oh but I can hear my children's cry I can see the tears in their eyes Memories of those I've left behind Still ringing in my ears Well Ill always remember that night, As they waved goodbye to their fathers We followed the rail, we slept under the stars Digging in darkness, and living with danger Showing no fear of what lies up ahead They'll never see the likes of us again Can you hear me Can you see Don't you hear me Don't you see From Letras Mania
