it's late and i can't sleep
i've made promises i can't keep
cobblestones and broken bones
has a kingdom but he's got
no home
last night is still ringin' in my head
like that lonesome whistle in
the rain

i'm a fool for a lonesome train

the lifetimes we've left behind
with strangers
promises and lies both have
their dangers
i just can't be wrong enough
and i can't hide for long enough
so far away but i still feel
your pain

i'm a fool for a lonesome train
i'd try to say good-bye
but i never got your name
i'm a fool for a lonesome train

i'm a fool for a lonesome train
i'm your fool for a lonesome train
i know it sounds crazy but i'm
painfully sane
i'm your fool for a lonesome train
