Another day is ended
I remember when
My world came falling down
Out there the stars stopped dancing
Lost in my darkness now
The rain keeps falling down
Light of my life
Where have you gone?
Love's true flame dies
Without the warmth of your sun
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah
Here comes a blue train rolling
Across my heart it crawls
The rain still falling down
Another day escapes me
A little later maybe
Love will roll around
Light of my life
Where have you gone?
Love's true flame dies
Without the warmth of your sun
I been waiting on a corner
Yeah, I been waiting for your sign now
Oh, I been waiting on a corner
I been waiting for a sign now, oh now
Light of my life
Where have you gone?
Love's true flame dies
Without the warmth of your sun
So you know the blue train go
It carry my heart and my soul, oh
Eh, whistle blowing, blue train rolling
Carry my darkness all around, eh
Whistle blow, blue train roll
Carry my heart
I been waiting on a corner
I been wishing for a sign now, oh
I been hanging on a corner
I been waiting for a sign now, oh, ooh
Whistle blowing, blue train going
Calling across my mind now, oh
Oh, yeah
I been standing on the corner
I been waiting for the sun to go down
Yeah, the blue train, it's the blue train
Oh, it's a blue train rolling
Caught out running with just a little too much to hide
Maybe baby, everything's gonna work out fine
Please read the letter, I pinned it to your door
It's crazy how it all turned out, we needed so much more
Too late, too late, a fool could read the signs
Maybe baby, you'd better check between the lines
Please read the letter, I wrote it in my sleep
With help and consultation from the angels of the deep
Aww, aww
Once I stood beside a well of many words
My house was full of rings and charms and pretty birds
Please understand me, my walls came falling down
There's nothing here that's left for you but check with lost and found
Aww, aww
Aww, aww
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
One more song just before we go
Remember baby, all the things we used to know
Please read my letter and promise you'll keep
The secrets and the memories and cherish in the deep
Aww, aww
Aww, aww
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Aww, aww
Aww, aww
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Who guards the truth, oh lord most high
A frightened dove in a starless sky, oh?
So high, most high, so high
Who hides the east from the blind man's eye
In the land of peace where the righteous cry? oh,
So high, most high, so high
Where are the words? I'm the king
Who moves the stars and all the sun
To the light where my spirit was born
Bring this wanderer home
While mercy sleeps in the hearts of liars
And the olive tree is consumed by fire, oh
So high, most high, so high
Where are the words? I'm the king
Who moves the stars and then the sun
To the light where my spirit was born
Bring this wanderer home, come on, come on, come on
When David's seed talks through his paper crown
And he spits hot steel see all the kids fall down, oh yeah, mmm
So high, most high, oh, oh yeah, oh
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
When I was born I was running
As my feet hit the ground
Before I could walk I was humming
An old railroad sound
Things didn't get much better
When by the age of five
They found me walking into Clarksdale
Trying to keep my friends alive
No time for celebration
There was no known cure
Seems I was born and raised
In the wrong killing floor
And my loved ones gathered 'round
See if the experiment had worked
I was misplaced, out of time
Priveleged and worse
Oh, mama please
Don't cry for me
Tears to the river
Tears to be free
Now I see twelve white horses, yeah
Walking in a line
Moving east across the metal
Bridge on highway 49
And standing in the shadows
Of a burnt out motel
The king of Commerce Mississippi waited
With his hound from hell, oh
A shiny noon riverboat taking
Income from the poor
It's floating by the levee in
An artificial pool
There's a six mile tailback
Back on junction 304
A stranger at the crossroads
Believe I've seen his face before
Don't cry for me
Tears fill the river
Tears to be free
Oh, I'm sad to be leaving
The sun is going down and I really got to go now
I'm sad to be leaving
The sun's going down, I really got to go now
Really got to go now, ah
I gotta go
I've got to move
I've got to move, yeah, ah
I'm sad to be leaving
Sun's going down and I really got to go now
I'm sad to be leaving
The sun's going down and I really got to go now
I really got to go now, oh ooh
I'm sad to be leaving
Sun's going down and I really got to go now
I'm sad to be leaving
The sun's going down and I really got to go now
Really got to go now, yeah
Oh, gotta go now, yes
Yes, gotta go now
Yeah
Oh, speak to me, tell me the truth
Why don't you let me know?
Oh, throw me the key, I'm locking it up
I think it's time to go
Oh, when I think about it now
We built a house of love somehow
Oh, talk to me, you're packing your clothes
You leave me walking the floor
Oh, feels strange to me, I'm losing control
I can't feel you anymore, ooh ooh
Oh, when I think about it now
We built a house of love somehow
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much
Oh, my crazy arms, so empty now
So cold like dying snow
Mmm, remember me, I can't forget
You touched my very soul
Oh, when I think about it now
We built a house of love somehow
A little too much
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much, ah
You know you hurt me girl
You know you really really do now
You know you hurt me child
You know you really really do now
But things get better baby
When I was born I was running
Yeah, just-a running so hard now
Ah, but things get much better baby
But things get so hard, so hard, so hard
Ah, keep a-running, keep a-running
Things get better baby
Oh my crazy arms, so empty now
So cold like dying snow
Oh, remember me, I can't forget
You touched my very soul
When I think about it now
We built a house of love somehow
Just a little too much
Oh, a little too much
Just a little too much
It's just a little too much
Oh, come on, keep on, keep on
Come on come on come on
Go fetch another white girl
To play with in the sand
The one I have right now is broke
The one I really want has planned
To get religion, to find another way
She's at the temple, all I have to say
I have to face it, I'm home alone
I feel quite naked, oh, so forlorn
I am united in, in disarray
I've no intentions, I know to pray
Send me a dreamboat
That I can sail away
Adrift in warm devotion, no memory
I feel no pain
I live for new beginnings
To ride the win to win the day
Out on the ocean, decide I've got to stay
I can't get started, I'm at an end
She's got religion, I've lost a friend
I talk in circles, I make no sense
I get so nervous, no recompense
I have to face it, I'm home alone
I feel quite naked, oh, so forlorn
I am united in disarray
I've no intentions, I know to pray
Bring me the brightest star
That I can wish upon
And close my eyes so very tight
Pretend that you're not gone
So deep is my distraction
Maybe I'll disappear
When you're not here
I can't get started, I'm at an end
She's got religion, I've lost a friend
I talk in circles, I make no sense
I get so nervous, no recompense
I have to face it, I'm home alone
I feel quite naked, oh, so forlorn
I am united in disarray
I've no intentions, I know to pray
I can't get started, I'm at an end
She's got religion, I've lost a friend
I talk in circles, I make no sense
I get so nervous, no recompense
Go fetch another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Oh, take the whiskey from my glass and run
Yes, take the whiskey from my glass and run
Take the love from my heart - take it all now
You tear it up and tear it apart
Oh, take the whiskey from my glass and run
Oh, you broke my heart and gone
Yeah, you broke my heart and gone
You tore it up - you tore it down
Little bitty pieces on the ground
Yeah, broke my heart and run
Oh yeah
Oh, take this chain from my heart and run
Yes, take these chains from my heart and run
Take these chains from my heart - I can't explain
How it can tear me apart if you call my name
Oh, take the whiskey from my glass and run
