Early Morning Train Lyrics

she's leaving on the morning train
she's leaving on the morning train
we're at the same old station
that we both know so well
but this time we ain't laughing
this time feels like hell
one-way ticket in her hand
one-way ticket in her hand
I hear the good-bye coming
and I can't say a thing
I hold her hand and pray
that this is just all a dream

oh baby don't you do it
oh baby don't you do it
oh woman don't you do it
oh baby don't you go
she loved me long she loved me true
she loved me long she loved me true
she gave me my religion
taught my eyes to see
she even fought the devil
till he let go of me

the last thing that she said to me
the last thing that she said to me
''you know I love you
but I can't pretend
something's changing in me
that I don't understand''
she was my salvation
she was my partner in crime
she was my Mary Magdalen
and she left me on the 9;39
left me on that north-bound line

that train Lord it is gone
oh dear Lord that train is gone
I see the red lights fading
and I turn away
I see the red lights fading
it's time to walk away
