Can’t Catch the Train

[Verse 1] Wait, wait The race has been numbered So soon to go Where the horses have gone Lay down your head Like a baby to slumber Can't make it home anymore Oh no Can't catch the train [Bridge 1] With sorrows to suffer unknown Drawing the stars to a close [Verse 2] As sure as the shovel Is blind, deaf, and digging One day you're hung At the end of the rope Hat in your hand Near the station just begging Don't have the fare anymore Oh no Can't catch the train [Bridge 2] Calling from beyond the pale Shipwrecked, the dancers will crawl [Verse 3] Sing, sing For the new day appearing Give us one more For the memories you lost Sing for the night And how quickly it's nearing Can't make it home anymore Oh no Can't catch the train
