Conductor's Lantern, Last Carriage
by Odalys Fern
“A conductor swaying down the last carriage with a lantern. The B-side rocks gently like the train itself.”

Lyrics
Down the aisle with a little lantern Swaying side to side Checking every sleeping face Under the amber light Nobody needs a ticket now Just a place to rest Carry the lantern down the train Softly, softly on Everyone is riding home Until the break of dawn Carry the lantern down the train Softly, softly on A coat slips off a shoulder He tucks it back in place A child asleep on a suitcase A dream across her face The wheels keep singing underneath Steady, low and long Carry the lantern down the train Softly, softly on Everyone is riding home Until the break of dawn Carry the lantern down the train Softly, softly on Fields go by in silver Stations come and go The lantern keeps on glowing For the ones who ride below Carry the lantern down the train Softly, softly on Everyone is riding home Until the break of dawn Carry the lantern down the train Softly, softly on Softly, softly on Softly on
