The Train

And now the sun has broken through

It looks like it will stay

Just can't have you comin' home

On such a rainy day

The train is leaving Ellensville

Unless my watch is fast

The kids are comin' home from school

Must be quarter past

So many changes since you've been away

And there's so many things to say

This time around you'll want to stay

'Cuz I've had so many nights to find the way

Even bought that summer cottage yesterday

Pretty soon I'll be close to you

And it will be so good

We'll talk about the part of you

I never understood

And I will take good care of you

And never let you cry

We will look so much in love

To people passing by

So many changes since you've been away

And there's so many things to say

I wrote so many times and more

But the letters still are lying in my drawer

'Cuz the morning mail had left some time before

All the passengers for Allentown wait closer to the track

It's hard for me to realize you're really coming back

The crossing gate is coming down I think I see the train

The sun has gone and now my face is wet with heavy rain

The passengers for Allentown are gone

The train is slowly moving on

But I can't see you anyplace

And I know for sure I'd recognize your face

And I know for sure I'd recognize your face.
