About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Waiting for the train to come I keep waiting for the train to come Dreaming of the river and the rising sun I keep thinkin 'bout the world to come [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Oh-oh-oooh-oh Where is the river unbroken? Oh-oh-oooh-oh When will the whistle blow? [Verse 3] Waiting for the train to come I keep waiting for the train to come Keeping my appointment with the one who lives In the heart of everything that is [Verse 4] All night sleeping 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 [Chorus] 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? [Verse 5] Sometimes I feel I can't go on I get so tired, all passion's gone My heart, my head, my arms, my legs 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't hear, my eyes can't see Those clouds of joy still cover me, cover me, cover me [Chorus] 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? [Outro] Waiting for the train to come I keep waiting for the train to come
