Lyrics for Waiting On A Train

It's time that I was leavin' Shoulda left here long ago You'd rather see me sorry Than knowin' what I know I wish it was asleep instead Of hangin' here up above my head I'm cryin' In the winter time goin' Pull all my shit together Try for another breath Lonely livin' sorrow Holdin' on like death From the play of lights below Is that church bells ringin' Or my whistle blowin' I don't care I'm gone Shootin' up and down the tracks Mornin' comes Cold chills and shakes Just remindin' me of my mistake Well alright Now get your smell off of me mama It's time that I was leavin' I left here long ago You'd rather see me sorry Than knowin' what you know Wish it was asleep instead Of hangin' here up above my head Lady Lady midnight crawlin' Just waitiing on a train
