Waiting for the train to come 
I keep a'waiting for the train to come 
Dreamin' of the river and the rising sun 
I keep thinkin' 'bout the world to come 

My life packed up in a suitcase 
Old man staring from a doorway 
My hope tarries in the distance 
Love comes on the wheels of my deliverance 

Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken 
Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow 

Waitin' for the train to come 
I keep waitin' for the train to come 
Keepin' my appointment with the one who lives 
In the heart of everything that is 

All night sleepin' in a station 
My God, it's hard not to be impatient 
I watch through the windows of forgiveness 
I cry but my word's my only witness 

Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken 
Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow 
Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken 
Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow 

Sometimes I feel I can't go on, I can't go on 
I get so tired, all passion's gone 
My heart, my head, my arms, my legs, I get so tired 
Without the strength to crawl away 
Then something breaks inside my soul, My strength is gone 
That spirit's finally taking hold 
My ears can hear, my eyes can see 
Those clouds of joy still cover me, cover me, cover me 

Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken 
Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow 
Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken 
Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow 

Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is, where is the river unbroken 
Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow 

Fade: 
Waiting for the train to come 
I keep waiting for the train to come...
