|
a light rain is falling |
|
i'm leaving home my life is calling |
|
it's calling from the end of the line |
|
it's been that way for all that time |
|
for things beyond our power it forced us to remain |
|
all our lives we wait on trains |
|
look how the fields are swaying |
|
we were one town children playing |
|
and oh the wind was in our sails |
|
headed homeward and hightailing |
|
but all that once was bright has now become so faint |
|
all our lives we wait on trains |
|
we wait on trains to take us from here |
|
to take us places beyond the hill |
|
to bring our sons and daughters home |
|
if it be god's will |
|
she's got to hold her love together |
|
but no time now or maybe never |
|
her friends all say don't bother her |
|
he ain't on that train young mother |
|
but she don't pay no mind she believes just the same |
|
all our lives we wait on trains |
