There's a train that's coming soon
Out below the crescent moon
Whistle blows its mournful tune
The one I love
Is on that WAILING TRAIN...
He said we'd never be apart
But some things you cannot chart
Still I hold him in my heart
The one I love
Is on that WAILING TRAIN...
He's riding on that WAILING TRAIN
In his uniform of blue
And he's coming home to stay
To his word he will be true
But like a barren fruitless plain
There's an emptiness so huge
He's riding on that WAILING TRAIN
To seek his last refuge...
Fateful winds blow despite
Heaven's will and heaven's might
Somewhere in the lonely night
The one I love
Is on that WAILING TRAIN
Men of peace, men of war
Fight together at death’s door
Frightened in the dark they roar
The one I love
Is on that WAILING TRAIN
He's riding on that WAILING TRAIN
In his uniform of blue
And he's coming home to stay
To his word he will be true
But like a barren fruitless plain
There’s an emptiness so huge
He's riding on that WAILING TRAIN
To say his last adieu...
He’s riding on that wailing train
To say his last adieu
