The sun slips through the broken blinds,
through the dusty panes
And casts a shadow across the bed
where you and I once lay
Your perfume lingers, though you've gone,
my poor ol' heart will break
I'm lonesome as the whistle on the evening train
Chorus:
The jukebox plays a sad old song
I pray to God above
That you'll come riding back to me
On a train of love
I walk down to the station and watch
the trains go by
Stare into my coffee, just looking for a sign
That one day you'll step off that train
and forgive me for my crimes
Take my hand and walk with me to the end of the line
chorus
I never knew I was lucky 'til my luck
all slipped away
I gambled with the devil and the devil made me pay
My dreams never came true like
the roses never bloomed
They withered and they died in this empty room
The light is gone, the night is here,
the day is left behind
The rumble of a distant train slithers
through my mind
Your photograph is faded but the memory
still remains
Your eyes burn in the tail lights on
the midnight train
chorus
Train of love
Train of love
chorus
Train of love
Train of love
Train of love
