Lyrics
[Solo emotional raw singer]
[Solo verse (Only singer and harmonica)]
A train’s a-coming,
Oh, a train’s a-coming,
It's the end in sight,
Sight, sight, sight, sight.
Yes, a train’s a-coming,
Chugga-chugga,
Hiss, hiss,
Tracks of tears laid down,
Heartbreak's heavy hissing.
[Solo Chorus (Only singer and harmonica)]
A train’s a-coming,
Lord, a train’s a-coming,
Its whistle cries our end,
End, end, end, end.
[Solo verse (Only singer and harmonica)]
Rolling down the track,
No chance to turn it back,
Feel that distance grow,
Grow, grow, grow, grow.
A train’s a-coming,
It’s a-coming,
Coming to part,
Part, part, part, part.
[Solo verse (Only singer and harmonica)]
Echoes of goodbye,
Rumbling through the night,
That train, that train,
Signals our last fight,
A train’s a-coming,
Carries away my love,
Oh, that train,
Train, train, train, train.
[Solo verse (Only singer and harmonica)]
Thunder on those tracks,
Shadows stretch long and black, [Harmonica plays]
Each whistle a stab, a painful crack,
Crack, crack, crack, crack.
A train's a-coming,
Steel wheels spinning,
Future dimming,
Our love's final inning.
[Solo Chorus (Only singer and harmonica)]
A train's a-coming,
Oh, a train's a-coming,
Hear that lonely whistle sound,
Down, down, down, down.
[Solo verse (Only singer and harmonica)]
Crossing that last divide,
On tracks we can't deny,
Hear the final call,
Call, call, call, call.
A train’s a-coming,
It’s a-coming,
Coming to close,
Close, close, close, close.
[Solo verse (Only singer and harmonica)]
Farewell in the steam,
Lost in a dream,
That train, that train,
Carrying all our dreams,
A train’s a-coming,
With the dawn’s early beam,
Oh, that train,
Train, train, train, train.
[harmonica solo Break]
[Outro]
The train has come,
Oh, The train has come,
Hear that lonely whistle drown,
Drown, drown, drown, drown.
[Instrumental Finish]
