Train song


Music & Lyrics: 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 a me away from here
but a train can't cring 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 milles away
with not one thing to show
well it was a train that took me away from here
but a train cant take me home
I remember when I left
without bothering to pack
you know I up and left with
just the clothes that I had on my back
now I'm sorry for what I've done
and I'm out of here on my own
well it was a train that took me away from
here but a train cant bring me home
