The Golden Age Of Steam
Lyricist:Hackett Stephen Richard
12 years old in Amsterdam in 1939 A blue eyed boy, my clean complexion always got me by A boy with real potential sold secrets by the score Where refugees were hiding I'd just point out the doors
In the golden age of steam I learned those German songs I had to stay alive there was no right or wrong In the golden age of steam
The fatherland was rising the world would hear the roar Both sides fed and trusted me in 1944 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Trains ran on time those days oiling the machine Smoke rose up like serpents, I was barely seventeen
In the golden age of steam, it's over now but not somehow I was a hero then to many men
Switzerland was a short ride for an eager blond haired boy With a silver smile and loaded with jewelery to enjoy Maybe one day they'll come for me they'll take me from my bed A soldier of fortune, that's what my passport read In the golden age of steam
