I remember the sound of the passing train
                                           
As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain
                                             
And the touch of a hand and the way she said 'Goodbye'.

                                  
And we walked in the sun down the royal mile
                                      
Saw the light in her eye and the way she smiled
                                               
And she cried in the night and I heard her say 'Don't go'.

                                   
What can I do, sweet darlin', I don't want to go away
                                    
Looking at you sweet darlin', I know I want to stay
               
What can I do, sweet darlin'?

                               
In the light of the day I was rolling home
                               
I was thinking of you waiting on your own
                                          
And I wanted to call but then something said 'Oh no'.

                              
Yeah but now it's a dream, it's a memory
                              
But I'll never forget what you gave to me
                                 
I was lost and alone but you made feel ok.


                                    
What can I do, sweet darlin', I don't want to go away
                                    
Looking at you sweet darlin', I know I want to stay
               
What can I do, sweet darlin'?

            
            
                
                                
I remember the sound of the passing train
                                       
As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain
                                              
And the touch of a hand and the way she said 'Goodbye'.


                                   
What can I do, sweet darlin', I don't want to go away
                                   
Looking at you sweet darlin', I know I want to stay
               
What can I do, sweet darlin'?
