Waiting For A Train Lyrics


Peter & The Wolf Waiting For A Train


Oh, what am I thinking wearing black?
The sun is beating on my back
As I'm waiting by the railroad tracks
With a few scatter bums

What a sight to see
So lost and free
Nobody hounding them or me
And each wondering privately
How long till my train comes

All the while I wish I were in London
Grey and overcast
Lights along the water

Turn my head to the skies
And close my eyes
Feel the lightning come
But there is only sun

And what a silly boy
I gave you my soul

We walked along the water
With our eyes resting lazy on the treetops
A million lights exploding in the water
Every moment, perfect ladies dancing
In the perfect dawn
And we walked on

All the while I wished I were in London
Grey and overcast
Lights along the water

Turn my head to the skies
And close my eyes
Feel the lightning come
But there is only sun

We went all day
We'd dream away
Not a thing to show, not a thing to say
Lights turn and pipes burn
It's the same for everyone

What a sight to see
So lost and free
Nobody hounding them or me
And each wondering privately
How long till my train comes.
