Todd Rundgren - Hit Me Like A Train lyrics

I have visions, i have visions of a happy land And in this happy land, happy land There is still one unhappy man Because of all the things he wants There is always something he can't have It's like a siren singing, like a church bell ringing I can feel you winning, and my head starts spinning Now i'm back at the beginning I, i, i see you lying there and I, i felt a wave come over me and I, i, i thought i had escaped you As i sat down by the roadside And it hit me like a train Hit me like a freight train When the truth came down on me It hit me like a long, slow train It is written, i know it's written All god's children get smitten And if there's anyone, anybody I know the [lord] can fit that description And if i could turn back the hands of time Still i wouldn't know what i'm supposed to change It's like a well gone dry, like a kiss goodbye As the grip gets tighter, i continue to fight it Then you strike me with your lightning I, i, i woke up in a cold sweat and I, i thought i heard you call my name and I, i, i had to reach out for your fingers And before i could call the doctor You hit me like a train Hit me like a freight train When the truth came down on me Swear you hit me like a long, slow train Lord you hit me like a train Hit me like a coal train When your love came down on me yeah Say hit me like a long, slow Lord i feel it coming down and I, i, i, i, oooh I, i, i, oh lord have mercy [on me] I can't hold out no longer I was ready to surrender And it hit me like a train yeah Hit me like a freight train When your love came down on me yeah And it me like a long, slow train Lord you hit me like a train Hit me like a soul train When your love, when your love came down on me child Hit me like a long slow [how long was it] long train Hit me like a coal train?
