"A Train That Never Runs" lyrics

A Train That Never Runs

An empty railroad station
Is a lonely place to be
And a suitcase full of memories
Is a heavy load to carry
I've got no destination
No special place to be

I'm just waiting for a train
That never runs
Lord, I'm waiting for a train
That never comes

Tears above my ticket
On a train that goes nowhere
I paid the price with heartaches
A fare that seem so unfair
The silence of the moment
Is the only sound I hear

I'm just waiting for a train
That never runs
Lord, I'm waiting for a train
That never comes

Measured time and cross ties
The train of love is gone
Down the tracks of yesterdays
I see the rails at left on
My mind is just a depot
Where I wait all alone

I'm just waiting for a train
That never runs
Lord, I'm waiting for a train
That never comes
