You built the railroads from the west
You built the ships from iron ore and
All of your bridges never rest
But without love they're nothing more
Now all of the Reckless Engineer has gone
And where now does heart and soul beat in
the city sky?
And all the people wihout dreams
Oh they laughed and oh they mocked in vein
You never needed monuments
Look at the Cornish sky and Bristol gorges
All of the Reckless Engineer has gone
And where now does heart and soul beat
in the city sky?
You built the ships from iron ore and
All of your bridges never rest
But without love they're nothing more
Now all of the Reckless Engineer has gone
And where now does heart and soul beat in
the city sky?
And all the people wihout dreams
Oh they laughed and oh they mocked in vein
You never needed monuments
Look at the Cornish sky and Bristol gorges
All of the Reckless Engineer has gone
And where now does heart and soul beat
in the city sky?
