Ais Gill Hawes junction
The Signalman dealt with 58 trains in his 10 hours of duty set the signal for green for the express train but two light engines assumed the green was for them.
Dm C Dm
Nineteen hundred and ten.
C A7
Christmas Eve at Hawes Junction
Dm C Dm C A7
Lights of a passenger train through curtains of wind-driven rain
Dm C A7
Setting the scene for destruction
Dm C Dm
Light engines waiting to go.
C A7
Two to Carlisle returning
Dm C Dm C A7
Two others making for Leeds, a goods train passing at speed
Dm C A7
One on the table for turning
Dm C Dm
Well, the north bound passenger's late.
C A7
The signalman gives her the main line
Dm C Dm C A7
Forgetting the Carlisle men who consider the green is for them
Dm C A7
And set off home on the same line.
Dm C Dm
Onlookers rooted to clay.
C A7
A sound holds every attention
Dm C Dm C A7
Out of the stormy darkness, the London to Glasgow express
Dm C A7
Pursuing the Carlisle engines
Dm C Dm
Hurtling on to Ais Gill,
C A7
the Moorcock tunnel astride her
Dm C Dm C A7
She bursts out into the night and straight ahead is the light
Dm C A7
Of slow moving engines that block her
Dm C Dm
A horrified driver looks round,
C A7
to the night train rushing upon them
Dm C Dm C A7
His whistle hangs on the air like the anguished cry of despair
Dm C A7
Torn from the man who condemned them
Dm C Dm
Steel hammers hard into steel.
C A7
The carriages crumple to splinters
Dm C Dm C A7
Gas spills on to the flames and fire takes over the train
Dm C A7
Passengers strewn among cinders
Dm C Dm
Nineteen hundred and ten.
