Day After Day

Day after day

Miles and miles of railroad track

Night after night

Hummin' of the wheels



Their hummin' seems to say

He'll follow you someday

But someday seems

A million miles away



Wish I could turn around

And run back home again

I've had no mercy

Since the blues got on this train



Day after day

Make a dollar, need it twice

Night after night

Lie awake and dream



Of days of auld lang syne

Moonlight through the pine

And linen table cloths

All stained with wine



Wish I could turn around

And run back home again

I've been so empty

Since I caught that eastbound train



Day after day

Watch the hands move 'round the clock

Night after night

Searching for my soul



So this must be my fate

To sit and weep and wait

And pray my darlin'

Comes before too late



Wish I could turn around

And run back home again

I've been so lonely

Since I caught that eastbound train
