Lyrics

Lonely train whistle blow tonight rolling over salt marshes
Rolling to the tide
The night lies hard the night lies long
Too soon I’ll leave my mother’s house and everything feels wrong

I cannot find my way home
Though I’ve searched high and low
I’m sorry for my wandering soul
the wild wild heart that made me go away away
 Mother said don’t worry
Walk gently be strong take care
Baby close your eyes just go to sleep
We will alway be there

Oh how the world called sweet silky tones
Promising the great unknown beckoning me on
And when you’re young there’s so much time
The shadows lie in back of us we never look behind

Now time’s so swift it hurts my troat
And age has settled thickly on my parents like a cloak
I run my fingers along my childhood walls
Listening for the door to close waiting for the house to fall

I cannot find my way home
Though I’ve searched high and low
I’m angry at some thief of youth
Who lied in promising me truth and life and love and life and love and love
I cannot find my way home
Though I’ve searched high and low
I’m sorry for my wandering soul
the wild wild heart that made me go away away

Mother said don’t worry
Walk gently be strong take care
Baby close your eyes just go to sleep
We will alway be there
Always always always . . . .
