Long Black Train Lyrics by Oh Susanna

Soon the Birds

0

Always said to leave the light on
Always said you would come home
Now it's just me and our little baby
And this heart cold as a stone
When I saw the officers coming
Then I knew you were gone
Then I saw nothing but that long black train rolling home
When we first met we were in high school
Your eyes they burned into my soul
You placed your ring on my little finger
Then we both knew you had to go
When you flew into the mountains
Did you look into the sun?
Did you know you'd be riding on that long black train rolling home?
When you flew into the night, I felt her kicking inside of me
But now she's here and you are gone I'm as lonesome as somebody could be
But now I look at our baby daughter
Does she know there's something wrong?
Does she know that she has no father?
Does she know that it's you that I mourn?
Will she miss her sisters that never were born?
Did you see them riding on that long black train rolling home?
Did you see them riding on that long black train rolling home?
On that long black train rolling home
On that long black train rolling home
