Ben Lee - Long Train Ride Lyrics

I pass a town without a name Seen through the window of a train A boy and girl stand side by side The train arrives, she kisses him goodbye She turns away then steps on board He thought he’d die but now he’s sure But as he thinks of one last thing to say The train just rolls away I pass a station with no sign An old man gets on the train just in time He used to love this town despite the rain But since his wife died it’s not been the same He curses himself, he was weak At his wife’s grave he could not speak But as he thinks that maybe he should stay The train just rolls away The driver likes his coffee strong and hot The train he drives is everything he’s not He watches the sad people board the train Then laughs as he pulls out and rolls away Hits a hundred, no holding back Then his dear train comes off the track The news report said instant death, no pain But who’s really to say? But who’s really to say? The train just rolled away The train just rolls away Ben Lee Lyrics Long Train Ride Lyrics
