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
