Your Long Black Hair

There lies a day
Holding just for you
I'd missing living too
But it's not just down, down, down
There's always the round and round
Of peace that comes for you
Once you're through
And it's all you can do

I been thinking' up a one-night train from this world
I been thinking' how upon my train I'll ride from these hands
I been thinking' up a railroad track
Humming off into the black
And the moment I'll despair
For your long and black hair

With every day
More than ever few
They'll slip right from you
And keep on going by, by, by
You won't even cry, cry, cry
Though each and every moon cries for you
With the weight of nights through

I been thinking' up a one-night train from this world
I been thinking' how upon my train I'll ride from these hands
I been thinking' up a railroad track
Humming off into the black
And the moment I'll despair
For your long and black hair

Then as I'm done in
I'll see her a-running
Reaching out to say
Wish it away
I'm coming with
Won't you let me
Just as the way
I started it
You're my every
Isn't it plain to never end?
Hold me gently once I'm through
And it's all you can do

I been thinking' up a one-night train from this world
I been thinking' how upon my train I'll ride from these hands
I been thinking' up a railroad track
Humming off into the black
And the moment I'll despair
For your long and black hair

Your long and black hair
Your long and black hair
