slow train

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
