every morning waiting for the mailman to come. but again he shook his head and said maybe tomorrow there'll be one. he said
some guys just arrived. i felt so much better that i ran to catch the 3:45. i got to the station
when i spotted a soldier turning through an exit gate. oh
i pushed through the crowd until i reached his side
and got the strangest look from a strangers eyes. i cried
bill when are you coming back. i cried in a stranger's arms standing there by the railroad tracks. oh
yes i did. the day you left me remains in my mind so clear. you were saying you loved me
but the train made it hard to hear. so
we moved by the coke machine
so we could say goodbye. the people were staring
but i couldn't keep the tears from my eyes. as the train departed your loving mother held me close. we cried together
trying to keep each other host. oh
wherever you are you know you need it too
'cause no one in this world needs you like i do. i cried
bill when are you coming back. i cried in a stranger's arms standing there by the railroad tracks. oh

yes i did. no news is good news; at least
that's what your mama said. but
i've got nothing to cling to except what i felt inside
when i cried i loved you and looked into that stranger's eyes. oh
bill. i can't stand the pain of knowing if i'll ever see you again!
bill when are you coming back. i cried in a stranger's arms standing there by the railroad tracks. oh
when are you coming back?
i cried in a stranger's arms standing there by the railroad tracks. oh
