lucy brown

in a lonely railway station

there's a man who sits and wonders

if he ever will be going home again

and his eyes can still remember

as he sees the faded picture

of the girl who said she'd always be his friend

so he lights another cigarette

and wonders if she'll ever get the message

in the letter that he sent

lucy brown

we been so long apart now i'm cryin'

i'm goin' down

though i'm tryin'

feel i'm dyin'!

lucy brown

now we're so far apart feel i'm sinkin'

since i been gone

i been thinkin'

can't help thinkin'

of lucy brown

well he hasn't got the money

to get back to the city

so he sits alone and stares into the floor

then he hears a whistle blowin'

as a train pulls in the station

and he looks up and she's standin' by the door

and she smiles at him so sweetly

as she's holdin' up the letter

and he looks at her and says to her once more

lucy brown

we been so far apart now i'm cryin'

i been so down

i was tryin'

i was dyin'

lucy brown

we been so far apart i been sinkin'

since i been gone

i been thinkin'

can't help thinkin'
