SOUTHBOUND TRAIN
(Kevin Geil - Vivien Leigh)
TWO TONS OF STEEL (Big Bellied Records, 1999)

Loneliness has called my name
Tracked me down
Caused me lots of pain
Oh the days don't seem the same
Since loneliness called my name

She left me on a southbound train
Packed her suitcase, I cried in vain
And as I asked for one chance more
The engineer said all aboard

[Chorus]
For the lonely ones
All aboard for loves discarded ones
It's a one way ticket friends
Where the heartache never ends
All aboard

The steam filled the southern sky
It enveloped me as I said goodbye
Then the steam turned to rain
The one I love is on that southbound train

I followed those lonesome old tracks home
With every step my thoughts did roam
And as I lie awake in bed
Lonely echoes danced in my head

The steam filled the southern sky
It enveloped me as I said goodbye
And as I asked for one chance more
The engineer said all aboard

All aboard
All aboard
All aboard
