Train Song
Fare thee well, little lady
Trains are carrying me
One and a two, three and a four thousand miles
Miles from you1
Thought I tried my best
To be your man
Can't you see, can't you feel that burning into my soul?
Don't you understand?

Love is a basket of light
Grasp it so tight
Shining bright just ain't right to be caught in the night
Caught in the basket of light2

There they were little lady:
Trains a-gatherin' near
One and a two, three and a four,
Thousand a miles
Miles from you...

Shinin' bright just ain't right

Love is a basket of light.
Grasping [grasp it?] so tight.
Shining bright just ain't right to be caught in the night.
Caught in a basket of light.
