The thunder cracks against the night
The dark explodes with a yellow light
The railroad sign is flashing bright
The people stare but I don't care
My flesh is cold against my bones
And Cheryl's going home
Can you hear me shouting in the rain?
Is there a way to stop the train?
I've got some reasons to explain
About the way I was today
The whistle moans and I'm alone
And Cheryl's going home
Send a roving special down the line
I'm running desperately behind
There's only one thing on my mind
As the rain and tears are in my eyes
The things I have to say will not be known
And Cheryl's going home
She's going home tonight ok
I'm running down the train tracks
Lost because she's gone away oh yeah
Cheryl baby I love you
And all the things you've ever done for me that's true
Then I see that look in your eyes
My God I'm sad now, paralysed
You're going away
I'd hope you were gonna say
I'm so sad you're going away
'Cause that train
That bloody train
Is going chuff chuff chuff chuff chuff down the track
It's going chuff chuff chuff chuff chuff down the track
And Cheryl is going home
Cheryl is going home
Cheryl is going home tonight
The thunder cracks against the night
The dark explodes with a yellow light
The railroad sign is flashing bright
The people stare but I don't care
My flesh is cold against my bones
And darling Cheryl's going home
