If you'd come a little closer
I'll tell you how it all began
He said, write a song, it doesn't even have to be long
But I said the coming
train's already come and gone
And I wonder where the street lights have gone
And why everything's left me alone
But He said, won't you come on home my dear,
Because the coming train's already come and gone
I said the coming train's already come and gone
And now that time has past, those many years
I've seen the light, oh I see the light
And I know you'll always be there for me waiting on me
Cause the coming train's already come and gone
I said the coming train's already come and gone
I said the coming train will come again
