Who has a real live romance with a train, oh
I can't forget him as he's rollin' away
And we both felt so romantic
And don't forget to call my name
Oh, my beautiful lover and friend
Well, our courtship was brief and magnetic
And I can't get you out of my mind, oh
I was singin' at the corner bar
This fellow, he's so brave and so alive
Put me at the head of your list
It's been a week, I think, since he rolled into town
My gypsy heart was inflamed
And it's all I can do is just to stay here
Turnin' this world around from the out to the inside
I'm wanderin' around on a cloud
Empty-hearted and down and out
And now I'm feelin' so haunted
This is exactly what I wanted
Well, I've fell in love with a boy
Well, it was too much for me
Is just to stay
And it's been years that I've heard these stories about
We took a walk with the moon down to the train yard
