Lyrics
WELL IT SEEMS THIS TRAIN HAS BEEN SO LONG IN LEAVING
THERE?S JUST THAT MUCH MORE TIME TO CRY
EVEN THOUGH I TOLD YOU THAT IT?S SURELY OVER
I STILL SEE PLEADING IN YOUR EYES
THERE?S NO OTHER SORROW LIKE A TRAIN THAT?S LEAVING
THERE?S NOTHING LEFT WHEN LEAVING?S THROUGH
TRAINS DON?T HAVE A LONESOME WHISTLE LIKE THEY USED TO
THEY DISAPPEARED LIKE LOVE CAN DO
IT?S A SHAME
TRAINS DON?T HAVE A LONESOME WHISTLE LIKE THEY USED TO
IT?S A SHAME
TRAINS DON?T HAVE A LONESOME WHISTLE ANYMORE
IT WOULD BE SO APROPOS TO HEAR THAT LONESOME WHISTLE BLOW
TRAINS DON?T HAVE A LONESOME WHISTLE ANYMORE
TRAINS DON?T HAVE A LONESOME WHISTLE ANYMORE
FADED HOPE DESCENDS YOUR FACE JUST LIKE A CURTAIN
YOU KNOW IT?S TIME TO PULL AWAY
THIS OLD STATION?S REALLY SEEN IT?S SHARE OF HURTIN?
THERE?S NOTHING NEW TO DO OR SAY
THAT BIG ENGINE SNAPS THE LONG LINE TO ATTENTION
IT STARTS TO TEAR YOU FROM MY SIDE
THERE?S NO NEED TO CARRY ON WITH THIS PRETENTION
I?LL ADD MY TEARS TO THOSE YOU?VE CRIED
IT?S A SHAME
TRAINS DON?T HAVE A LONESOME WHISTLE LIKE THEY USED TO
IT?S A SHAME
TRAINS DON?T HAVE A LONESOME WHISTLE ANYMORE
IT WOULD BE SO APROPOS TO HEAR THAT LONESOME WHISTLE BLOW
TRAINS DON?T HAVE A LONESOME WHISTLE ANYMORE
TRAINS DON?T HAVE A LONESOME WHISTLE ANYMORE
