On the evening train rolling
All along the homeward way
All my hopes won't arise
All my dreams are gone dead
The hillside dark is shaded
Stars fall from above
All the joys of earth have faded
The night's untouched my love
I'll be here til tomorrow
Beneath a shroud of grey
I'll pretend I'm free of sorrow
My heart is miles away
The death knells are ringing
My train is overdue
To your memory, I'm clinging
I can't escape from you
Well I hear the sound of thunder
Roaring loud and long
Sometimes you got to wonder
God knows I've done no wrong
I have wasted all your power
You threw out the Christmas pie
Now you're withering like a flower
You're playing with rolling die
I'm a dealer, sad nor sorry
I'm all dressed up in black
I fought for fame and glory
You tried to break my back
In the followed sweet forever
The sunshine peaking through
We should've walked together
I can't escape from you
I cannot blast the shadows
That gather near the door
The rain fall round my window
I wish I'd seen you more
The path is ever-winding
The stars, they never age
The morning light is blinding
All the world's a stage
Should be the time of gladness
Empty faces everywhere
The mystery of madness
Is propagating in the air
I don't like this city
Not like some folks do
Isn't it a pity
I can't escape from you?
We ploughed the hills of heaven
Right down to the end
I hope I can be forgiven
If any words of mine offend
All our days were splendid
They were simple, they were plain
It never should've ended
I should've kissed you in the rain
I been thinking things all over
All the moments full of grace
The primrose and the clover
Your ever-changing face
Can't help looking at you
You made love with god knows who
Never found a gal to match you
I can't escape from you
