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
