By the time you leave   I'll be saving all my green   For a homebound train to carry me   On old familiar steam      I wish you'd hurry up   And leave or come around   Well the moon is waning hard tonight   I'm leaving my hometown      And the train rolls on with no pilot   And the station's left me I know   But if you should happen to find it   Please bring it home, bring it home      I traded all my stops   For a pillow made of rails   In an empty room I listen to   The lonely whistle wails      I woke up to feet   That I took to be your shoes   And the train lay tracks that deafened me   Shook my insides loose      And the train rolls on with no pilot   And the station's left me I know   But if you should happen to find it   Please bring it home, bring it home      And the point of all this living   Is the dying still to come   And I could be forgiven   But I just won't, I just won't
