The train rolls on without you, the whistle starts to cry,
Dusty memories surround me, all I do is sigh.
Your laughter’s like a ghost now, it howls beneath the stars,
Every mile I travel, I’m still craving who you are.
Heartbreak’s a heavy burden, dragging through each day,
The tracks are worn and weathered, like the dreams we tossed away.
Fading whispers in the night air, echo through my soul,
Thoughts of what we once had, now I’m left with the toll.
I watch the world go flashing by, shadows in the sun,
Each face a fleeting moment, but you were my only one.
The pain’s a dusty record, spinning in the dark,
Still I keep on searching for that warm and loving spark.
The wind begins to howl now, like it knows my name,
It carries all the heartaches, each moment just the same.
I cling to old reflections, but they break just like the dawn,
Can’t outrun the fading echoes of love now long gone.
So I’ll ride this lonesome train, till the daylight fades away,
With my heart a hollow rhythm, just a tune I can’t replay.
Maybe someday I’ll find peace, beneath this endless sky,
But tonight I’m just a drifter, on a train that won’t comply.
Soon the stars will greet me, in a silence thick and true,
And I’ll lay my woes to rest, say goodbye to you.
For every heartbreak teaches, and every tear must dry,
This train will keep on rolling, till I finally learn to fly.
Blues
