I hear a train a coming
Rumbling through my mind
I hear a train a coming
And Lord it’s right on time
I hear a train a coming
Rolling over these lavender streams
I hear a train a coming
With days of grander dreams
But these grander dreams
I fear they’re killing me
Because I fear I’ve let them go
But I hear a train a coming
Won’t someone let me know
That when sleep won’t come
And you’re cursing the moon
For keeping you awake
Where’d that train come from?
How’d it get in to my room?
You gotta get on board before it’s too late
Won’t you take your hand in mine
Won’t need no luggage on down the line
Can’t you hear that train a coming
In the corners of your mind
I hear a train a coming
Rolling over the fields of youth
I hear a train a coming
Seeking what is known for truth
I hear a train a coming
I hear a train a coming
I hear a train a coming
I hear a train a coming
