slow train brought me down
round the hill and home again
to the place i left behind
all those lonesome years ago
so much change around me
barely found where i had been
deep down in memory
all those days gone by
found you waiting for me
a sadness heavy on my heart
as dark earth wrapped around you
all those farewells past
so much time, gone and done
with pieces of my love left lying
unspent in all our youth
all those words unspoken
slow train brought me down
round the hill and home again
to love, dead and still
all those lonesome years ago
