Train
Song - Tom Waits
Well
I broke down in E. St. Louis
On the
Kansas City line
and
I drunk up all my money
that
I borrowed every time
and
I fell down at the derby
and
now the night's 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
standing at the depot
with
a steeple full of swallows
that
could never ring the bell
and
I come ten thousand miles away
with
not one thing to show
well
it was a train that took me away from here
but
a train can't bring me home
I remember
when I left
without
bothering to pack
you
know I up and left with
just
the clothes I had on my back
now
I'm sorry for what I've done
and
I'm out here on my own
well
it was a train that took me away from
here
but a train can't bring me home
