It's a lonely road
For the tired man
And they can see it in your face
And you'll be home in spring
I can wait till then
I heard you're on the big train
And all this too shall pass
This loneliness won't last for long
I wasn't there to take his place
I was ten thousand miles away
So when you hear my voice
Will you say my name?
And never forget the pain
I don't want to go
But it's time to leave
And be on my mind and my destiny
And I won't fight it in vain
I love you just the same
I couldn't know what's in your mind
But I saw the pictures, you're looking fine
And there was a time
When I stood in line for love, for love, for love
But I let you go, oh, I let you go
And you cut apart
This broken heart
This blood this blood this blood
Oh it drains from my skin and dust
For the tired man
And they can see it in your face
And you'll be home in spring
I can wait till then
I heard you're on the big train
And all this too shall pass
This loneliness won't last for long
I wasn't there to take his place
I was ten thousand miles away
So when you hear my voice
Will you say my name?
And never forget the pain
I don't want to go
But it's time to leave
And be on my mind and my destiny
And I won't fight it in vain
I love you just the same
I couldn't know what's in your mind
But I saw the pictures, you're looking fine
And there was a time
When I stood in line for love, for love, for love
But I let you go, oh, I let you go
And you cut apart
This broken heart
This blood this blood this blood
Oh it drains from my skin and dust
