Another bit of morning time,
I’d make that Nevada borderline.
Heard it said, you’re never lost
on these trails of lonely rail,
just haven’t got there yet.
But there is hope in the dream
that there is still more to dream.
When those cold chilly California winds
flush through the yawning cracks
in these old tawny boxcar slates,
carry to mind dreams long gone.
Guess that ole Nevada borderline
is just gonna hafta wait.
My home is all the colors of now,
and, oh, it is such a beautiful sound.

J-Called
Loving this vivid scene from

And, oh, it is such a beautiful sound"
Nice Image!
"My home is all the colors of now"
