The Robbie Gennet Band - Niggle's Parish Lyrics

One day the man came
Gonna take him on down the line
The driver for his journey
With a biscuit and some wine

Said you ain't got time to pack your bags
The carriage come at last
And you can't hold on to your paintings of past
Don't it go to fast

Ain't no conductor to take your ticket now
It ain't the time or the place to find out why
What's the porter shouting to you
Coming down the rails
No, he never fails to help you find your way
On the train to Niggle's Parish on the bay

The old man went quiet
But the platform had no name
And he called out to the driver
Son, what is your game

But the driver left him long ago
And he left his bags behind
But the old man at the station, he didn't mind
He didn't have the heart to be unkind

Ain't no conductor to take your ticket now
It ain't the time or the place to find out why
What's the porter shouting to you
Coming down the rails
No, he never fails to help you find your way
On the train to Niggle's Parish on the bay

Back in town where they didn't believe you
The skeptics rant and raved
About the way to find the end of the road
Blind to why it's paved
And other blind men put their faith in Jesus
Hoping to be saved
But you know that they can't save themselves along the way
To that Parish on the bay

Ain't no conductor to take your ticket now
It ain't the time or the place to find out why
What's the porter shouting to you
Coming down the rails
No, he never fails to help you find your way
On the train to Niggle's Parish on the bay
Parish on the bay
To that Parish on the bay
