Lyrics

Long ago in Tucson in a lightly falling rain
I was awakened late one night
by the whistle of train
There's a feeling bitter sweet
like when you're sad and you smile
Things get deep, you can't get no sleep
You lay awake awhile

Now the man that I was seeing
Lived out on the edge of town
We had the kind of thing you have
Till something better comes around

He had a girlfriend in Chicago
He always made that plain
Still I loved to lie there late at night
Listen to the trains

And I swear that I wish you the same as you wish me
It's always been as simple as can be
We go round and round but in the end but in the end
All the feelings will remain
So long, goodbye, farewell old friend
I'm gone just like a train

Last night in San Diego, I opened up my eyes
Surrounded by the ones I love
Much to my surprise
Some days you're floating down the stream
Some days you're in denial
Some nights you hear the whistle blow
And lay awake awhile

And I swear that I wish you the same as you wish me
It's always been as simple as can be
We go round and round but in the end but in the end
All the feelings will remain
So long, goodbye, farewell old friend
I'm gone just like a train
So long, goodbye, farewell old friend
I'm gone just like a train
