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
