Day is dawning and I must go You're asleep, but still I'm sure you'll know Why it had to end this way You and I had a groovy time But I told you, somewhere down the line You would have to find me gone I just have to move along Just another town, another train Waiting in the morning rain Lord, just give my restless soul a little patience Just another town, another train Nothing lost and nothing gained Guess I will spend my life in railway stations Guess I will spend my life in railway stations When you wake, I know you'll cry And the words I wrote to say goodbye They won't comfort you at all But in time you will understand That the dreams we dreamt were made of sand For a no good bum like me To live is to be free Agnetha, Frida, Bjarn, just another town, another train Waiting in the morning rain Lord, just give my restless soul a little patience Just another town, another train Nothing lost and nothing gained Guess I will spend my life in railway stations Guess I will spend my life in railway stations Just another town, another train Waiting in the morning rain Lord, just give my restless soul a little patience Just another town, another train Nothing lost and nothing gained Guess I will spend my life in railway stations Guess I will spend my life in railway stations
