Now the words that I am singing
They may turn you off
But crying and losing
Are all part of love
It's a cry of a woman
It's a train in the night
Have you heard it
Are you hearing it right
No-oh-oh
Oh the daylight is dying
At the hands of the night
And the shadows invite me
To turn off my light
I am the gutter leaves trying
To shake off the wind
Which is howling.....
And the flickering streetlamps
Peer out of the gloom
Casting quadrants of sadness
On the walls of my room
Oh the wind will invade me and claw at my soul
If I let it
Ohhh
And all for a memory I can't see or hear
The queen in a pack I discarded last year
Oh she's come back to haunt me
In my castle of sand
Can you hear me
Are you hearing me right
No-oh-oh
Now the words that I am singing
They may make you sad
But the blues ain't no good
If you're feeling alright
Oh they'll take you
They'll shape you
They'll break you in two
Can you hear me
Are you hearing me right
No-oh-oh
Are you hearing me right
No-oh-oh
Are you hearing me right
No-oh-oh
Are you hearing me right
No-oh-oh
