How Long Has That Evening Train Been Gone

How long has that evening train been gone?



I wanna know



How long yeah, has that evening train been gone?



I have my babe that was standing at the station



Waiting for a train



I ran to the door with my heart in my hand



And all my future plans, I've gotta catch him if I can



Is that express Mr. Station man



I woke up this mornin' with a smile on my face



Feelin' that the world, the world was a beautiful place



How long has that evening train been gone, ooh yeah?



How long has that evening train been gone?



On a scrap of paper was the train arriving information



His room was empty and his closet's bare



And not a single shirt was hangin' there



How could the guy just up and leave me?



And what did I do that was so displeasing



Only yesterday he helped me type



He told me everything, everything's gonna be alright



Oh, he said he loved me and he cried



Oh yeah, said he loved me and he cried



Oh, yes he did now



There must be an explanation



Come on and move out the station



Can't you see that he's taking my world



And making me a sad sad girl



That's why I can't let go, that's why I gotta know



How long has that evening train been gone?



I wanna know how long has the train been gone now?



Oh yeah, has that evening train been gone?



Right now, can't wait a minute longer



Has that evening train been gone?



Right now, don't want to wait a minute longer
