There's no mistake i smell that smell it's that time of year again i can taste the air clocks go back railway track 
something blocks the line again and the train runs late for the first time pebble beach we're 
underneath a pier just been painted red  where i hear the news for the first time 
and all the friends lay down the flowers sit on the banks and drink for hours talk of the way they saw him last 
local boy in the photograph he'll always be twenty three yet the train runs on and on past the place they 
found his clothing
