lyrics

Well we're just another beam in the track
No one would remember us even if they wanted
we're just another sidewalk crack in the world's winding road
We're just another beam in the track
The trains passing over us faster than we know it
It's leaving and it's not coming back
Well we're just another beam

Well an eagle burst off a cliff to fly
Out into that bloodstained sky
Well the sun ate him up in her glorious flame
And he's never coming back and I think it's safe to say that he's

just another beam in the track
No one would remember him even if they wanted
he's just another sidewalk crack in the world's winding road
he's just another beam in the track
The sun's setting over him faster than he knows it
he's leaving and he's not coming back
Well he's just another beam

Well a peaceful old lady tells me her story
95 years in the same weathered skin
Now she sits alone in her retirement home
living in her memories before she has to go, well she knows she's

just another beam in the track
No one would remember her even if they wanted
she's just another sidewalk crack in the world's winding road
she's just another beam in the track
Crackin and splinterin and damn straight she knows it
she's leaving and it's not coming back
Well she's just another beam

And all these people runnin' round
well they're just mirrors
reflecting what I want to see
But I know someday they will fade away
I know they'll fade away from me
Because...

I'm just another beam in the track
no one could remember me even if they wanted to
