Luyện nghe bài hát The Watch

[Originally called Midland' after a lake steamer called 'The City of
Midland', this song is the true accounting of the final of one of the
workers of the Lakes. I Stan just couldn't resist the comparisons to how
we treat our workers!]
They dragged her down, dead, Tobermory,
Too to spare her one last head of steam,
Deep in diesel embraced,
Rust and soot the face of one who was so clean.
They me here to watch her in the boneyard,
two old wrecks to spend the night alone.
It's the dark inside evil place.
Clouds on the moon her disgrace;
This hides my own.

It's the last on the Midland,
The last alone,
One last night to her,
The night she's whole.
My is that we were young together.
Like her's, my strength was young and as steel.
And like her too, I knew my
I scarcely felt the go round
In to the wheel.
But then they quenched the beneath the boiler,
me a watch and showed me out the door.
At sixty-four, you're still the
One more, and then you're less
dust upon the floor.

So here's to useless
And us old of the days of steam.
In the morning, Lord, I prefer
WHen men with torches for her,
Let angels for me.

It's the last on the Midland,
The watch alone,
One last night to her,
The last she's whole.
