When a train comes, I don't know what to do
                                    
I'm leaving town, but I ain't leaving you
                                     
When I get down, I get these far away blues
                            
And I don't want to go back home

                                              
I can say I'm sorry, yeah if you think it would help
                                            
You say you call me, yeah but you never can tell
                                   
You just stand there, just wishing me well
                          
Can't think of nothing to say

                           
Well I'm gonna write you a song
                                 
Tell you just how much I been missing you
                                                
You don't have to wait very long and I'll be home, dear
                                     
And I know that you been crying at night
                             
But you don't have to be lonesome 'cause
                                                   
I'm gonna make it right, make it up,     make it up to you
                
   Make it up to you
                
   Make it up to you
                
   Make it up to you


                                      
We been gone now, well for weeks maybe longer
                                              
Well it's cold out, and this current's getting stronger
                                      
I called you, but you just sat in that corner
                        
Watching that telephone ring

                                          
Well baby pick up, so I can hear your sweet voice
                                  
'Cause I miss you, don't be sad anymore
                                        
'Cause one day I'm gonna walk through that door
                     
And hold you in my arms

(chorus)

                                             
Yeah you been drinking, you been drinking your wine
                                   
And you're wasted, yes and wasting your time
                                            
Yeah and it's plain that when you say it isn't mine
                                 
Well baby, can't you see I been trying?
                                 
I'm ready, 'cause I know this can work
                                       
And I would take you to the ends of the earth
                                    
Just hold on, yeah just a little bit longer
                         
And I'll be back by your side

(chorus)
