train that never runs

an empty railroad station is a lonely place to be

and a suitcase full of mem'ries is a heavy load to carry

i've got no destination no special place to be

i'm just waitin' for a train that never runs

lord

i'm waitin' 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 waitin' for a train that never runs

lord

i'm waitin' 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 waitin' for a train that never runs

lord

i'm waitin' for a train that never comes.
