Trains

A light rain is falling, I'm leaving home my life is calling

It's calling from the end of the line

it's been that way for all that time

For things beyond our power, it forced us to remain



All our lives we wait on trains



Look how the fields are xswaying, we were one town children playing

And the wind was in our sails

headed homeward and hightailing

But all that once was bright has now become so faint.



All our lives we wait on trains



We wait on trains to take us from here

To take us places beyond the hill

To bring our sons and daughters home if it be God's will



She's got a whole lot of love to gather but no time now or maybe never

Her friends all say don't bother her, he ain't on that train, young mother

But she don't pay no mind, she believes just the same



All our lives we wait on trains



All our lives we wait on trains
