I'm going away now sweetness, don't be sad
Though tonight was the best night that we've had
I'll put away my old suit and say goodbye
Cause something is with us tonight

Oh come on now sweetness don't you cry
The living here hasn't been easy for a while
I'll put away my old shoes and say goodbye
'Cos something is with us tonight

Yeah I'm leaving on the next train that's blowing round the bend
And I'll be there by the morning and I won't be back again
'Cos I№ve just seen the ending to our story
Well something is
Yeah something is
Yeah something is with us tonight

I'm going away to the station in the rain
I'm sorry sweetness but there№s nothing more to say
I've put away all my old things, this is goodbye
'Cos something is with us tonight

Yeah I'm leaving on the next train that's blowing round the bend
And I'll be there by the morning and I won't be back again
'Cos I№ve just seen the ending to our story
Well something is
Yeah something is
Yeah something is With us tonight

First time the longing in you wears the girl that grows it
And if he relieves you know that then you've blown it
And as life goes on you know you get to taste
All you find
'Cos baby, you're my light
Baby you're my light

Next time the feeling is the same, don't have to show it
A window of belief is where you own it
And as life goes on you know you have to face
All you find
'Cos baby, you're my light
Baby, you're my light
Baby, you're my light

Baby, you're my light

Last time the years have gone the moment's on you know it
But I believe in you and now I'll show it
And as life goes on you know you don't have to hate
All you find
Baby, you're my light
Baby, you're my light
Baby, you're my light
Baby, you're my light
Baby, you're my light

Love, love of my life
Speaking so soft to me
I wait in the rain
Your sin in your eyes
Washing all over me

Time, time on my side
Wondering sweetly
I'm singing your name
Your name on my mind
You think of it all for me
Love in this same old disguise

Love of my life
Love of my life
Love of my life
Love of my life
Love of my life
Washing all over me
Love in the same old disguise

Love, love of my life
Sleeping so softly
I burn in the flames
The flames of your eyes
Waiting all over me

Time, time on my side
Whispering sweet to me
I'm singing your name
Your name on my mind
You think of it out for me
Love in the same old disguise

The fate of man is random so don't look down
The towns and the cities are all burning down
Your road is bitter like the whip off the wind
You wanna get to the end but you don't know how to begin

You want to know how we got to where we are now
The nights are cold
The nights are cold
The nights are cold

Let my life and all it's storms begin to blow
Take me here and there I don't care where I go
Ah, beauty is a dark cloud when you're alone
She says she has the answers but I really just don't know

You want to know how we got to where we are now
The nights are cold
The nights are cold
The nights are cold
The nights are cold

Ah the only road I walk alone
Where beauty nails me to her cross

Look into my eyes
And stay for a while
We can close our eyes, love
And let the dreams come softly

Can you hear the rain, love?
Fall on your window
Can you hear the rain, love?
Gently fall

Here comes another tear
For the silence in me
And as its darkness clears
I wake you gently singing

Can you hear the rain, love?
Fall on your window
Can you hear the rain, love?
Gently fall


Oh it seems so far away
Oh it seems so far away
Oh it seems so far away

I'm going away now baby's gonna be alright
I just can't stand another lonely night
Going away now baby, gonna take my shoes
Gonna walk off these lonely blues
And I'm going away now baby don't you think of me
I'll be wandering somewhere you can't see
I'm going away now baby gonna be alright
It's just that I can't stand another lonely night

Mmm...
Mmm...
Mmm...
Mmm...
Mmm...
Mmm...
Mmm...
Mmm...

I'm going away now baby's gonna be alright
I just can't stand another lonely night
Mmm...
Mmm...
Mmm...
Mmm...
Mmm...
Mmm...
Mmm...

Smallwood, a joiner, takes carpenter out for a meal
As soon as we dock see the captain to get a better deal
My darkness in mind is concealed
I'm in here alone and unreal
But not anymore
Not anymore

Up above and outside we looked towards the stern of the ship
Weighed up the anchor and then I decided to slip
Land well in middle and row
I'm tired of deceiving my soul
But not anymore
Not anymore

Won't be at this station too long
Took too many journeys alone
But not anymore
Not anymore

I leap the boat clear without paying my bills, I just left here
Precious sight in my eyes as I take the last dive, I shed no tears
I'm taking a guess
This life is a mess
But not anymore
Not anymore

I'll see myself out of this world
We don't get long and no rehearsal
So I'll shade my eyes and watch the shadows grow
'Cos I'm not coming back

Maybe I've been too long in this town
Even the happy faces just bring me down
So maybe now it's time to move on
And hold that torch again

But it's too hard a road
I can't make it on my own
Yes it's too high a climb
It just breaks this heart of mine
No way home

I just sit here and count the time
Sometimes I'm frightened what's in my mind
The things that just seem to stick in there
I wouldn't want you to know

This is all the time that we have
All those ways to love you never get it back
So I'll wear shoes that walk the distance
'Cos I'm never coming back

And it's too hard a road
I can't make it on my own
Yes it's too high a climb
Oh this broken heart of mine
There's no way home

It's too hard a road
I can't make it on my own
Yes it's too high a climb
For this broken heart of mine
No way home
No way home
No way home
No way home
No way home

And I'm here the first standing here on the moon
It took us years of work
But we got through
And yet now, I'm here just on my own
So cry a tear for the man on the moon
Cry a tear for the man on the moon
Cry a tear for the man on the moon

And this spinning blue jewel here in my palm
Far away down there just seems so small
And yet, now I'm here I see it all
So cry a tear for the man on the moon

And yet, now I'm here I see it all
So cry a tear for the man on the moon
Cry a tear for the man on the moon
Cry a tear for the man on the moon

When the nightingale sings in the deep of the night
And the robin he sleeps on the wing
Hear the toll of the bell ringing out all is well
And the city's golden lights shining on
Ride the long black train
Ride the long black train
It takes us all the black train Take me home black train

Ride the long black train
Ride the long black train
It takes us all the black train
Take me home black train

And the shadows we pass turns my soul into glass
And the streets that I walk are all tamed
Hear the toll of the bell ringing out all is well
And the city's golden lights shining on
Ride the long black train
Ride the long black train
It takes us all the black train
Take me home black train

And the briar and the rose in the churchyard they grow
'Neath the clock tower tall all entwined
And the raven he flies round the oak as she sighs
And the candles they call out my name
To ride the long black train
Ride the long black train
It takes us all the black train
Take me home black train
