when I heard the train, I put on my shoes    skittered out the door ,4 a.m., cat was sleeping and the crickets roared   when I got down there to station   train was gone, place was closed   there was no one   thought for sure it was the one you were on   and I know the sky will fall, it rides with the rain   and I know my only crutch is a rubber tree cane,   a rubber tree cane   there's no bridge over troubled water, we all gotta swim   standing on the bank here and I'll cannonball right in   well, why'd you have to lose your interest?   why'd you have to just get bored?   all along I think I knew it   it just hurt to be ignored   when I heard the train   I thought of you and wrote a song   I thought for sure it was the one,   was the one, was the one you were on
