Bring me back my memories, boy
It's getting dark, too dark, and I am cold
I've got the shivers and I'm tangled up
With God and the devil and they're both so bold
So sing, boy, sing, boy, one more song
My train is coming now
Can you hear it, hear it, the sound is thin
You better sing somehow
Forgive me, boy, these songs of woe
I never found no good in songs of joy
Hope is a blind man piercing the Lord
I got no cover, got no shield, no sword
So sing, boy, sing, boy, one more song
My train is coming now
Can you hear it, hear it, the sound is thin
You better sing somehow
Can you hear me, hear me, hear me, boy
You seem to fade somehow
I can't hear you, hear you, hear you, boy
Your singing stopped somehow
It's just the train now, train now, it's me and that train
I'm bound to board it now
