Tom Waits - Train Song Lyrics

Tom Waits - Train Song Lyrics





--
-Well, I broke down in East St. Louis, on the Kansas City line
Drunk up all of my money, that I borrowed every time
And I fell down at the Derby, the night's as black as a crow
It was a train that took me away from here, but a train can't bring me home

What made my dreams so hollow, was standin' at the depot
With a steeple full of swallows, that could never ring a bell
And I've come ten thousand miles away, with not one thing to show
It was a train that took me away from here, but a train can't bring me home

Well, I remember when I left, without botherin' to pack
Don't you know I up and left, with just the clothes I had on my back
Now I'm so sorry for what I've done, and I'm out here on my own
It was a train that took me away from here, but a train can't bring me home
It was a train that took me away from here, but a train can't bring me home
