Verse 1
years of the nineteenth century
That human affairs were being watched from
the timeless worlds of space

It seems totally incredible to me now that
Everyone spent that evening as though
From the railway station came
the sound of shunting trains
Ringing and rumbling,
softened almost into melody by the distance

Verse 11
It all seemed so safe and tranquil
