Trouble Ahead

One, two, three, four

It's safe to say that there's trouble ahead
Well, it's good to know that it's coming
It doesn't take much searchin', friend
To know that there's nothing

But a life of feeling like you're all alone
In a mansion with wolves at the door
And no blue birds flying

And I can pray for you like you're all I've got
Or I can keep on thinking things are rosy enough to go on forever
With a smile and a thought
That if you're gonna go
We can just get on and ride off
For I know now that the train doesn't always stop
For you when you want it to

And you can keep on singing
'My ship's comin' in'
Little darlin' 'til you're blue

And just like trains don't always stop
Your boat may never dock
And forever on the ocean you will ride
Never to dream of me

Don't ever dream of me

Maybe on some winter's day
I'll let out a "I love you more than words can say"
Then happily I'll go to the grave
With nothing that a little prayer
To the Lord can't save
For I've been doing wrong
For so long

Goodbye, farewell, this is your song
I'm sorry, it's not better hummed
But I've thrown away all of my good ones
Yes, I've thrown away all of my good ones

And you can keep on singing
'My ship's comin' in'
Little darlin' 'til you're blue
And just like trains don't always stop

Your boat may never dock
And forever on the ocean you will ride
Never to dream of me

Don't ever dream of me
