Fay Lovsky Just Like This Train
I'm always running behind the time Just like this train Shaking into town With the brakes complainin'
I used to count lovers like railroad cars I counted them on my side Lately I don't count on nothing I just let things slide
The station master's shuffling cards Boxcars are banging in the yards Jealous lovin'll make you crazy If you can't find your goodness Cause you lost your heart
I went looking for a cause Or a strong cat without claws Or any reason to resume And I found this empty seat In this crowded waiting room Everybody waiting
Old man sleeping on his bags Women with that teased up kind of hair Kids with the jitters in their legs And those wide wide open stares And the kids got cokes & chocolate bars There's a thin man smoking a fat cigar Jealous lovin'll make you crazy If you can't find your goodness Cause you've lost your heart
What are you going to do now You've got no one to give your love to
Well I've got this berth & this roll down blind I've got this fold up sink And these rocks And these cactus going by And a bottle of German wine to drink Settle down into the clickety clack With the clouds & the stars to read Dreaming of the pleasure I'm gonna have Watching your hairline recede, my vain darling
Watching your hair & clouds & stars I'm rocking away in a sleeping car Cause this jealous lovin's bound to make me Crazy I can't find my goodness I lost my heart Oh sour grapes Because I lost my heart
