Grant Earl LaValley - The Train Lyrics

It was round about when i
Pulled the sorrow to her eyes
Headed out and told me she'd be leaving
And so i went to town
And i drank so much i drowned
And i headed down to meet her at the station
The man said ""shes not around""
So i laid down on the ground
And i decided i would wait for her returning
Now the years have come and gone
Look at me im still alone
And my hair has grown compleatly into the ground iv seen so many people look at me and frown iv seen so many sunsets come and go
Whether she'll come back i do not know
I spent years on my back with my ear against the track
Listening for her distant train returnin
Thinking somday she'll come around
Where i laid there on the ground
Maby an afternoon when she felt down and lonely
But the years have come and gone look at me im still alone
And my legs and arms have turnd to atrophy
Iv watched so many trains going at high speed
Iv watched so many summers turn to snow
Wheather she'll come back i do not know
Then one day a man said ""sir,what have you been lying here for""
I looked up at him and truly could not remember
So i looked up tword the sky
And i kissed that ground goodbye
And i headed on to figure my next venture
And now im rolling down the line what comes next i guess ill find
And i still cant recall her wavey golden hair
I cant remember all those kisses and how she'd stare
I cant recall all of those lashes and eyes of blue
Well i guess im wrong but at least my waitings through
