Heard a Train
[Intro]
Here comes that cherry pain
Like knowing I'm going to be on and all the same
Here comes that cherry pain
All things faded to their own way, oh
[Verse 1]
You made this engine, Lord, keep it running
They called my brother Jesus of nothing
I haven't ever gone back again
Heard a train everywhere I been
[Verse 2]
A maimed song in an overcoat
First song on an overdose
Living on is a wage of sin
Your only mask, your suffering
[Chorus]
Anyone here could have touched me, a touch is only rain
Somеbody said that they miss me, but who that was, I couldn't say
They all callеd it a day when I'd left already
[Verse 3]
Forgive me, father, for being hungry
So long, sister, mean and ugly
Dreams stripped down to a ragged memory
I see a face everywhere they send me
[Verse 4]
Never coming this way again
I heard a train everywhere I've been
There's no such thing as an easy way down
Or sleepwalking on holy ground
[Chorus]
Anyone here could have touched me, a touch is only rain
Somebody said that they miss me, but who that was, I couldn't say
They all called it a day when I'd left already
[Verse 5]
This engine, keep it running
Your master is suffering
I'm never coming this way again
I heard a train everywhere I've been
[Verse 6]
Looking around down underground
Sleepwalking and easy down
Bury the nail and you leave it in
Living on is a wage of sin
[Chorus]
Anyone here could have touched me, a touch is only rain
Somebody said that they miss me, but who that was, I couldn't say
They all called it a day when I'd left already
[Outro]
You shouldn't have walked with me, love, you know my eyes don't see
Nothing but this strange and perfect dream
Where all things are lone like the dog I am
Just one more ride, just one more chance
Here comes that cherry pain
