CHORUS:

How long has that evening train been gone (whoa whoa)?

I wanna know

How long has that evening train been gone (whoa whoa)?



I have a babe that was standing at the station

Waiting for a train

I ran to the door with my heart in my hand (heart in my hand)

And all my future plans (future plans)



I've gotta catch him if I can

Is that express, Mr. Station-Man?

I woke up this morning with a smile on my face

Feeling that the world, the world was a beautiful place



CHORUS



On a scrap of paper

Was the train-arriving information

His room was empty and his closet's bare (closet's bare)

And not a single shirt was hanging there (hanging there)



How could the guy just up and leave me?

What did I do that was so displeasing?

Only yesterday, he held me tight

He told me everything, everything's gonna be alright



Oh, he said he loved me and he cried

Oh yeah, he said he loved me and he cried

Oh yes, he did now



There must be an explanation

Come on and move out the station

Can't ya see that he's taking my world

And making me a sad, sad girl?

That's why I can't let go

That's why I gotta know



CHORUS

(repeat and fade out)
