It's late and I can't sleep I've made promises I can't keep Cobblestones and broken bones Has a kingdom but he's got No home Last night is still ringin' in my head Like that lonesome whistle in The rain I'm a fool for a lonesome train The lifetimes we've left behind With strangers
Promises and lies both have Their dangers I just can't be wrong enough And I can't hide for long enough So far away but I still feel Your pain I'm a fool for a lonesome train I'd try to say good-bye But I never got your name I'm a fool for a lonesome train
