Look for the old and new faces:
Try to find any traces
Of their memories of days gone by.
Just think back
To the railroad track –
Can you picture yourself there?

Agonizing to try to find
Your forgotten childhood mind
Lost in dark, damp old attics.

Do you remember your little friends?
How about your early life on a farm?
Think old man! Who sits so blindly, THINK!
Do you hear the whistles blow?
Do you hear the trains come and go?
Tell me please, I need to know!

Why?

My times are lost.
What can I do?
I dread the future, and
Have forgotten my awful past.
