Tonight, my heart is full of a sad song My lonesome lover has taken off I'm wandering around on a cloud Empty-hearted and down and out
It's been a week, I think, since he rolled into town And it's been years that I've heard these stories about This fellah he's so brave and so alive Turning this world around from the out to the inside
Well, our courtship was brief and magnetic I was singing at the corner bar And we both felt so romantic We took a walk with the moon Down to the train yard
Well, it was too much for me My gypsy heart was inflamed Put me at the head of your list And don't forget to call my name Well, I fell in love with a boy Who has a real live romance with a train
Oh, my beautiful lover and friend This is exactly what I wanted And now I'm feeling so haunted And I can't get you out of my mind
I can't forget him as he's rolling away And it's all I can do is just to stay here Is just to stay
