The Train
Black Raven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Train is rollin' through the night
In my heart, I feel so alone
Tomorrow I'm gonna feel allright
'Cause I'm roling home

Well, I am known around the world
And now I wanna settle down
There is waiting a little girl
In my homestad town

I'm gonna love her all the night, all the night
I'm gonna feel happy - when I hold her tight

The Train is rollin' through the night
In my heart, I feel so alone
Tomorrow I'm gonna feel allright
'Cause I'm roling home

Brown eyes and long blond hair
I like the way she smiles
Soon I will hold her in my arms
Just a few hundred miles

Well, I am known around the world
And now I wanna settle down




There is waiting a little girl
In my homestad town
