When a train comes, I don't know what to do
I'm leaving town, but I ain't leaving you
When I get down, I get these far away blues
And I don't want to go back home
I can say I'm sorry, yeah if you think it would help
You say you call me, yeah but you never can tell
You just stand there, just wishing me well
Can't think of nothing to say
Well I'm gonna write you a song
Tell you just how much I been missing you
You don't have to wait very long and I'll be home, dear
And I know that you been crying at night
But you don't have to be lonesome 'cause
I'm gonna make it right, make it up, make it up to you
Make it up to you
Make it up to you
Make it up to you
We been gone now, well for weeks maybe longer
Well it's cold out, and this current's getting stronger
I called you, but you just sat in that corner
Watching that telephone ring
Well baby pick up, so I can hear your sweet voice
'Cause I miss you, don't be sad anymore
'Cause one day I'm gonna walk through that door
And hold you in my arms
(chorus)
Yeah you been drinking, you been drinking your wine
And you're wasted, yes and wasting your time
Yeah and it's plain that when you say it isn't mine
Well baby, can't you see I been trying?
I'm ready, 'cause I know this can work
And I would take you to the ends of the earth
Just hold on, yeah just a little bit longer
And I'll be back by your side
(chorus)
