The Last to Paradise
Words and Chris Foster
copyright 2003 Chris Foster Music

What was known as a modern day
A great railroad crossed over sea
It defied all the whitecaps and the coral bed
And linked the whole to the keys

Who should on this lofty endeavor?
But a man who said was obsessed
Who'd millions of dollars refining crude oil
Now his focus was on Key West

Skeptics and who used pens as their lances
Took cheap shots at him and asked were the chances
That the you're building make good on the quest
Of over the ocean right into Key West?

The Last to paradise
dubbed Flagler's folly for the use of a knife
Undeterred by their Henry went on with life
And drew up the for the last train to paradise.

It all started when he first to Florida
His friends told him that he should
You could live off your till the end of your days
But Henry still had his fire.

He said this place what it could be
With the weather so nice all year
So I'll buy up the Halifax/ rail
And track it south town to town.

We'll track over rivers and track streams
We'll track over and other mans dreams
We'll track it through mangroves and track it through the
And were we can't we will dredge for the fill

We'll build the last to paradise
New and new hotels where the weather is nice
Right on to Fort Dallas they suffer no ice
He continued to the last train to paradise.

When the railroad got as far as Homestead.
They Henry, had then done his best
But in the back of his brain a remained
To take the railroad on to Key West.

Where Deep awaited the liners
and trades to the canal.
But stood in his way was the great Biscayne bay
And an that spanned 7 miles.

Faced the fact that he had to cross ocean
He put all his engineers into motion
Devising a plan to extend the line
By a sea bridge one arch at a time.

The last to paradise
Rolled the ocean against all advice
Almost in defiance he didn't think
He had completed the last to paradise.

Mother nature had dealt him losses
in 0 6 9 and 10
But his vision strong and he vowed to go on
In the memory of the men
After 7 long to completion
He south in his car 91
He every mile with a big eager smile
Because impossible things had been

And the skeptics and cynics who had used as their lances
Were in awe of the man who had met advances
Henry all questions and passed all the test
the conductor yelled now arriving key west

The train to paradise
Built with muscle and sweat and a precise
Unparalleled by what he accomplished in
A divine inspiration. The Last train to
