Train Song Gavin Bryars (Ft. Jessica Walker)

Well, I broke down in East St. Louis
On the Kansas City line
And I drunk up all my money
That I borrowed every time

And I fell down at the Derby
Now the night's as black as a crow
Must've been a train that took me away from here
But a train can't bring me home

What made my dreams so hollow
I was standing at the depot
With a steeple full of swallows
That could never ring the bell

Oh I've come ten thousand miles away
And I ain't got one thing to show
Must've been a train that took me away from here
But a train can't bring me home

I remember whеn I left
Without bothering to pack
You know I up and left
With nothin' but thе clothes I had on my back

Now I'm so sorry for what I've done
And I'm out here on my own
Must've been a train that took me away from here
But a train can't bring me home
