Leavin’ Train Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

Tracks

1998

[Verse 1]
Baby, when I ask you if everything is alright
You whisper "Don't worry" and you shut out the light
Well now, black is black in this bed we're laying
And I wanna believe the words, yeah, that your lips are saying

[Chorus]
Oh, but your eyes look like a leavin' train
Yeah, they keep on draggin' me down
Your eyes look like a leavin' train
Yeah, they keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin' me down

[Verse 2]
Well, I did anything just to try to get close to you
I took it step by step just like a man's supposed to
Tell me now, is this my, baby, is this my contrition?
To have the love that I longed for fill me with suspicion?

[Chorus]
'Cause your eyes look like a leavin' train
Yeah, they keep on dragging me down
Your eyes look like a leavin' train
Yeah, they keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin' me down

[Verse 3]
Said now it's tellin' time, oh, my little sister
Now can I believe the words, the words of love you whisper?
Oh, is my train in vain or has my soul gone to waste?
Am I just a victim of, a victim of my lost faith?

[Chorus]
Oh, but your eyes look like a leavin' train
Yeah, they keep on draggin' me down
'Cause your eyes look like a leavin' train
Yeah, they keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin' me down
