Train to Nowhere Lyrics
Standing on the platform
Staring down the track
I felt a shiver
When I heard that clickety-clack
Heard the cry of "All aboard"
The ancient whistle blow
I've been waiting here so long
I can't tell friend from foe
Oh - - -
I'll meet you down the line
I'm on the train to nowhere
And it's right on time
The conductor was a blind man
And it caused me some concern
When he handed me my ticket
For the point of no return
He said, "You look a little worse for wear
I hate to call your bluff
But if you're going to ride this line
You must be made of sterner stuff"
I begged the brakeman, "Stop this train"
He said, "But what's the use?
You should know by now it's commonplace
For all hell to be breaking loose"
Then I heard my grandmother singing
"Hush - don't you cry
You're my little piece of Heaven
Fallen down from the sky"
Staring down the track
I felt a shiver
When I heard that clickety-clack
The ancient whistle blow
I've been waiting here so long
I can't tell friend from foe
I'll meet you down the line
I'm on the train to nowhere
And it's right on time
And it caused me some concern
When he handed me my ticket
For the point of no return
I hate to call your bluff
But if you're going to ride this line
You must be made of sterner stuff"
He said, "But what's the use?
You should know by now it's commonplace
For all hell to be breaking loose"
"Hush - don't you cry
You're my little piece of Heaven
Fallen down from the sky"
