Train

Jim Roll


And you ain't no wind chime 
hanging on a breeze 
you're a part of me 
I don't want to see 
from a long time back 
and you ain't no story 
some poet laid down in rhyme 
you're a precious child 
but you make me wild 
I guess it's just my time 

Train 
you can drink your wine 
we'll get you next time around 
Train 
hear that whistle moan 
I'm going home 
we both know that sound 
and I never had such a peaceful rest 
i went to make you mine 
but when I reached to sign 
you were gone again 
there's a spirit's home 
and there's a world of sin 
we come and go 
and damned if I don't know 
which world I left you in 
Train 
you can drink your wine 
we'll get you next time around 
Train 
hear that whistle moan 
I'm going home 
we both know that sound 
So goodbye angel 
and goodbye to your new face 
I'm gonna miss your breath 
it was cool like death 
some day I'll know you well 
and kiss Him angel 
kiss your salt tears on His hand 
but kiss Him free 
and kiss Him once for me 
I got a ride waiting 
Train 
you can drink your wine 
we'll get you next time around 
Train 
hear that whistle moan 
I'm going home 
we both know that sound
