Long Gone Train

WELL I WOKE UP WRAPPED UP
TIGHT IN YOU BABY LIKE A BLANKET IN THE NIGHT
BUT YOU’RE NOT HERE
IT’S JUST A LITTLE SOUVENIR
OF THE GOOD DAYS, WILD DAYS
THE HEARTACHE IS OVER AND THE TEARS HAVE ALL BEEN CRIED
BUT YOU’RE STILL HERE
A LITTLE WHISPER IN MY EAR

CHORUS:
IT’S JUST THE RIPPLES IN THE WATER WHEN THE STONE’S GONE DOWN
JUST THE LINGER OF AN ECHO WHEN THE SOUND’S DIED OUT
THE ROLLIN’ OF A RIVER AFTER A HARD SUMMER RAIN
IT’S JUST THE LAST BOXCAR OF A LONG GONE TRAIN

IT TOOK A LONG TIME BUT I
PUT YOU BEHIND ME AND I SET THAT BRIDGE IN FLAMES
WE SAID GOODBYE
BUT I GUESS THE EMBERS NEVER DIE
AND NOW MY LIFE’S BACK ON TRACK
JUST LIKE IT SHOULD BE AND I’VE FOUND SOME PEACE AGAIN
BUT STILL SOMETIMES
I CATCH YOU RUNNING THROUGH MY MIND

REPEAT CHORUS

CHORUS:
IT’S JUST THE RIPPLES IN THE WATER WHEN THE STONE’S GONE DOWN
JUST THE LINGER OF AN ECHO WHEN THE SOUND’S DIED OUT
THE ROLLIN’ OF A RIVER AFTER A HARD SUMMER RAIN
IT’S JUST THE RUMBLING OF THE THUNDER WHEN THE LIGHTNING’S DONE
THE CLOUD OF DUST AND GRAVEL WHEN THE WHEELS HAVE SPUN
THE RED ON THE HORIZON AFTER THE SUN’S GONE AWAY
IT’S JUST THE LAST BOXCAR
THE LAST BOXCAR
IT’S JUST THE LAST BOXCAR OF A LONG GONE TRAIN
