Your pardon if I seem too shy, it's just that I'm the sort of guy
Who sees that look in someone's eye and wonders if it's real
A memory of a younger man at a loss for words with shaking hands
Who felt the pinch and turned and ran, afraid to learn to feel

It's nothing that you did, my dear, but I can never quite see clear
When words are whispered in my ear; my senses start to fade
So patiently you played the part, were careful with my cautious heart
You pulled my armor all apart and showed me what we'd made

And every night the train goes by and sings its lonesome song
The engines cry, the pistons sigh, and I can sing along
It sings of all the trials and tribulations of a train
But I sing of my lady who would stand and watch the rain

Forgive me if I sigh at night and watch the trains in amber light
And harmonize with all my might and wonder if you hear
Some grand acoustical design that scales the miles on cargo lines
To bring this little song of mine to your awaiting ear

And every night the train goes by and sings its lonesome song
The engines cry, the pistons sigh, and I can sing along
It sings of all the trials and tribulations of a train
But I sing of my lady who would stand and watch the rain

And if I could sing louder than the twin jet-powered engines can
I'd send my words to travel on a plane
But the lyrics never look quite right when lit up by the runway lights
And, besides that, there's just something about singing with a train

I'm sorry if I ramble on and keep you up 'til after dawn
As I compose my simple song and watch the shooting stars
A memory that hasn't been where you're with me to share the scene
And we can find our song to sing to lonesome railway cars

And every night the train goes by and sings its lonesome song
The engines cry, the pistons sigh, and I can sing along
It sings of all the trials and tribulations of a train
But I sing of my lady who would stand and watch the rain
