I met you in 83
Told you to not love me
Cause I want to ride the rails
And soon enough I set my sail

When that Whistle Blows Just close your eyes,
I’m going out on the train alone tonight

Many years have past since then
I’ve been home and back again
Promises were made and broke
I was gone when you awoke

When that Whistle Blows Just close your eyes,
I’m going out on the train alone tonight

The last time I saw your door
There was a little baby on the floor
A man out back who looked at me
Chopping wood so I could see

When that Whistle Blows Just close your eyes,
I’m going out on the train alone tonight

You told me I took too long
You said go and sing your songs
But the little baby looks like me
When I left he turned to see.

When that Whistle Blows Just close your eyes,
I’m going out on the train alone tonight
