Where the neon temples glitter in the night But there's no one to assemble in their light The shepherd broke his crooked staff and roared Out to the name of the lord
On the porch I watched the pigeons fight the crumbs And the raindrops played the tin roof battle drums I should find myself some shelter I suppose With the dogs and the crows Where we all can live together safe and sound I our hole in the ground
Chorus And I'm all on my own On that long lonesome road I will roam 'til I'm old in my bones And I'm waiting in vain For the late evening train 'Til the day when it takes me away
Where the mountains crumble down and oceans rise And the country's getting old before my eyes Waltzing with the planets in the sky Turn the wheels of time
And I gaze up to the stars until I sleep See their blaze deep in my heart and in my dreams When everything is dark the future's bright And it feels alright I will rise up and I'll fly into space Come the end of days
Chorus And I'm all on my own On that long lonesome road I will roam 'til I'm old in my bones And I'm waiting in vain For the late evening train 'Til the day when it takes me away
Chorus And I'm all on my own On that long lonesome road I will roam 'til I'm old in my bones And I'm waiting in vain For the late evening train 'Til the day when it takes me away
