The last thing on your lips were mine And the last thing in my arms was you running blind So you can see, how it might have caught me, a little off guard That some 3 a.m. train left for Denver in the rain With you and my heart CHORUS: And I just can't take a train I just can't take the whistle or the wheels That lonely sound, running out, on cold rails of steel I just can't take the leavin', or you not looking back And to this day, I just can't take a train There's something 'bout those stations late at night The way that silver arrow cuts a dawn horizon, just like a knife it reminds me of you and that night we broke through the Ice Colorado all aboard and you rolled out like a storm Without goodbye REPEAT CHORUS You could've woke me up and said I'm sorry But this is how it's got to be 'Cause a one rail nowhere Is such a lonely way to leave I just can't take the leavin', or you not even looking back And to this day, I just can't take a train Oh, to this day, I just can't take a train.
