I think this song is about the Holocaust in the 40's. 'A rain of falling cinders' makes me think of when they burned the bodies at the death camps and the ashes would fall from the sky. 'His father's watch, he left it in the showers' could refer to the 'showers' they said they were giving Jews before they burned them, they would confiscate Jews' belongings before the 'showers'; hence his watch got confiscated before he went into the gas chamber. Also where he sings 'the railroad takes him home' could be referring to the trains they used to take Jews to concentration camps and such, maybe the war had just ended and they were taking him home by train.
ummm you are so far off the mark i had to made a account just to tell you the truth.
no Offense, just its not about that. Its a Queensland Australia song about growing up in the sugar cane fields. We they used to do can burn off the skies would be black and a rain of falling cinders would fall for miles. it happened 100s of times to me as a youth. its about leaving a small town and traveling to the city but he still has
deep memories of his Queensland youth like i do

@quinnmeister -An interesting interpretation but I think it's more literal than that. Memories of growing up in Queensland cattle country and the burning of sugar cane. I guess we're both right because there is no wrong when interpreting songs.
