Tony Rice: "Shadows"

there's a shadow on the moon
and the waters here below
do not shine the way they should
and i love you just in case you didn't know

Seldom Scene: "I Know You Rider"

I wish I was a headlight on a northbound train
I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain

Laura Veirs: "Freight Train"

freight train, freight train, run so fast
please don't tell whst train i'm on
they won't know what route i've gone
when i'm dead and in my grave
no more good times here i crave
place the stones at my head and feet
tell them all i've gone to sleep
when i die, lord, bury me deep
way down on old Chestnut Street
then i can hear old Number 9
as she comes rolling by
--Elizabeth Cotton

Lindisfarne: "Born at the Right Time"

old men's thoughts are in the past
the future holds no store
their lives are left in tatters
fighting someone else's war
i wasn't party to that crime
because i was born at the right time
now i'm living on the coastline
i got off from the breadline
now i'm drinking the good wine
i go fishing in the summertime
sleep all day if i have a mind
i was born at the right time
