LONESOME RAIL

A musical re-run along romantic lines!

..................................................................

Darlin' now I'm miles away

From where I long to be

Now there's too much distance

Keepin' you from me

I lie awake most every night

To the locomotive's wail

And my heart heads back

Down the waiiting track

To ride that lonesome rail

 

I see your face before me

Whenever I'm alone

I hear your voice implore me

"Don't leave me on my own"

It hurts so much to realise

I was the one to fail

And I'll be right back  

Down the waiting track

To ride that lonesome rail

 

Everytime I think on you 

And all the things you are

I wish this lonely bed of mine

Was a rocking railroad car

They could pack me up and post me

I'd be your express male

And roll right back

Down the waiting track

To ride that lonesome rail.

 

I see your face before me

Whenever I'm alone

I hear your voice implore me

"Don't leave me on my own"

It hurts so much to realise

I was the one to fail

And I'll be right back

Down the waiting track

To ride that lonesome rail

REPEAT LAST VERSE ABOVE

I'll be right back

Down the waiting track

To ride that lonesome rail.
