Trains and boats and planes are passing by They mean a trip to Paris or Rome To someone else but not for me The trains and the boats and planes Took you away, away from me
We were so in love and high above We had a star to wish upon Wish and dreams come true, but not for me The trains and the boats and planes Took you away, away from me
You are from another part of the world You had to go for awhile and then You said you soon would return and then I'm waiting here like I promised to I'm waiting here, but where are you
Trains and boats and planes took you away But every time I see them I pray And if my prayer can cross the sea The trains and the boats and planes Will bring you back, back home to me
