Tom Waits. Train Song ( Big Time Documentary, 1988)

Well, I broke down in East St. Louis on the Kansas City line And drunk up all of my money that I borrowed every time And I fell down at the Derby, the night s as black as a crow It was a train that took me away from here But a train can t bring me home What made my dreams so hollow was standing at the depot With a steeple full of swallows that could never ring the bell Oh I ve come ten thousand miles away, not one thing to show It was a train that took me away from here But a train can t bring me home I remember when I left without bothering to pack Don t you know I up and left with just the clothes I had on my back Now I m so sorry for what I ve done and I m out here on my own It was a train that took me away from here But a train can t bring me home It was a train that took me away from here But a train can t bring me home
