Down by the railway line
He’s sitting in his old grey coat
And all the people come to ask him questions
Over again
He gave away his house and clothes
And all the money that he had
The day the last train ran through our town
Some think he’s very wise
But I know otherwise
That man’s a fool
As he’s forgotten love
He’s always cold though the sun might shine
Sits in the same place if it’s grey or fine
Sits where he lost his girl
To the railway line
He didn’t love and he couldn’t give
And now he seeks his peace inside
And still he wonders why
He feels so cold
Some think he’s very wise
But I know otherwise
That man’s a fool
As he’s forgotten love
And in the town where there once were trains
The people all hurry to and fro
They think somehow this man
Can make them happy again
They look for answers in his eyes
They look for answers in the way he sighs
And think somehow that sorrow
Makes you very wise
Some think he’s very wise
But I know otherwise
That man’s a fool
As he’s forgotten love
Forgotten love
Forgotten love
He’s sitting in his old grey coat
And all the people come to ask him questions
Over again
He gave away his house and clothes
And all the money that he had
The day the last train ran through our town
But I know otherwise
That man’s a fool
As he’s forgotten love
Sits in the same place if it’s grey or fine
Sits where he lost his girl
To the railway line
He didn’t love and he couldn’t give
And now he seeks his peace inside
And still he wonders why
He feels so cold
But I know otherwise
That man’s a fool
As he’s forgotten love
The people all hurry to and fro
They think somehow this man
Can make them happy again
They look for answers in his eyes
They look for answers in the way he sighs
And think somehow that sorrow
Makes you very wise
But I know otherwise
That man’s a fool
As he’s forgotten love
Forgotten love
