Tom Waits - Down There by the Train lyrics

(Tom Waits) There's a place I know where the train goes slow Where the sinners can be washed in the blood of the lamb There's a river by the trestle down by Sinner's Grove Down where the willow and the dogwood grows Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there where the train goes slow You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bell From the halls of heaven to the gates of hell And there's room for the forsaken if you're there on time You'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there where the train goes slow There's a golden moon that shines up through the mist And I know that your name will be on that list There's no eye for an eye, there's no tooth for a tooth I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there where the train goes slow So if you live in darkness and if you live in shame All of the pa**engers will be treated the same And old Humpty Jackson and Gyp the Blood will sing And Charlie Witman is holding on to Dillinger's wings They're down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there where the train goes slow If you've lost all your hope, if you've lost all your faith I know you will be cared for and I know you will be safe And all of the shameful and all of the who*es And even the soldier who pierced the heart of the Lord Is down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there where the train goes slow Well, I've never asked forgiveness and I've never said a prayer Never given of myself, never truly cared I've hurt the ones who loved me and I'm still raising Cain I've taken the low road and if you've done the same Meet me down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there where the train goes slow
