THE ORIENT EXPRESS

Contributed by jsringo on Sunday, 25th May 2008 @ 05:09:21 PM in AEST
Topic: fantasy

The great black train stood ready waiting on the rails
We were preparing for the journey and all that that entails
A short wait at the station while they loaded all the fuel
We came aboard her in Sofia on the way to Istanbul

Every inch of her was shining. all her steel did it gleam
We soon would be underway with a giant head of steam
Your face could be seen in each and every piece of brass
And a sparkle just like diamonds on every pane of glass

She pulled out of the station and as always right on time
The great wheels began to turn as we slowly made our climb
She finally made it up to speed and we were underway
We would reach our destination in only just one day

I entered the great club car and had my usual cup of tea
I headed toward my compartment where ever that may be
I ambled down the center isle, In an attempt to claim my spot
Of course I knew not where it was or the number I forgot

The coachman led me to it and very kindly let me in
It had a window sink and bar and carpet all within
I settled in a cosy seat and watched the scenery pass
Houses trees and pretty leaves and miles and miles of grass

Not long after I settled in I heard a knock on my door
It was such a gentle knock none I've ever heard before
While I stood to answer a lovely lady walked inside
She was sobbing please mister you must help me hide

I sat her on my cosy seat and dried her flowing tears
I wrapped my arm around her and tried to ease her fears
We heard the door lock rattle then came crashing open wide
She screamed don't let him take me, help me please she cried

I grabbed him by the collar and swung my hardest blow
I hit him in the face and she kicked him down below
We threw him from the berth out the open window wide
He tumbled down the hillside toward the water-side

She told me that this man had chased her a hundred miles or so
Her Father promised they would marry, of course she had said no
We played cards and had a great time all the remainder of our tour
I'll remember that trip always and of that you can be sure
