Black Train Lyrics

Black train rolling over the railway

Hissing and scratching its legs on the ground

Over the plain the stars all hanged

That darkened sky where you remain

An' if that steam heap stops

I'll turn down your lot

And sing outside your house

Darling I was wrong

The train rolls on and on

And the fire in my head burns long

The train will run forever into the endless sky

'Til I've been delivered to the home of you and I

Here I am watching you walk away for another time

Holding onto the warmth in all you've left behind

When I wake I feel it

That same old awful feeling

It blows me ever which way

Darling I was wrong

The train rolls on and on

And the engine burns so long

Then the train passed

Flew by me so fast

If I could hold your hands,

I'd clench them so tight

You'd stop in your tracks

But I know it's not right

And I'll try to hold you down

Try to keep you around

But that train rolls on and on

And it smokes so strong

That train rolls on
