|
Always said to leave the light on, |
|
Always said you would come home, |
|
Now it's just me and our little baby, |
|
And this heart cold as a stone. |
|
When I saw the officers coming, |
|
Then I knew you were gone, |
|
Then I saw nothing but that long black train rolling home. |
|
When we first met we were in high school, |
|
Your eyes they burned into my soul, |
|
You placed your ring on my little finger, |
|
Then we both knew you had to go. |
|
When you flew into the mountains, |
|
Did you look into the sun? |
|
Did you know you'd be riding on that long black train rolling home? |
|
When you flew into the night, I felt her kicking inside of me, |
|
But now she's here and you are gone I'm as lonesome as somebody could be. |
|
But now I look at our baby daughter, |
|
Does she know there's something wrong? |
|
Does she know that she has no father? |
|
Does she know that it's you that I mourn? |
|
Will she miss her sisters that never were born? |
|
Did you see them riding on that long black train rolling home? |
|
Did you see them riding on that long black train rolling home? |
|
On that long black train rolling home, |
|
On that long black train rolling home. |
