"Long Long Train" lyrics

These are the days
When people look back and ask why, and wonder
It's all been undone
And how did we come to deny each other

There's so many changes, don't know where to turn
Confusion to some is a game
We take it for granted, we'll be on board
And won't it be a long, long train
Will they call your name
Or will you cry in vain for that long, long train?

There was a time
When the world seemed all black and white
Did they dream?
It all turns to grey
And no one seems to know what is right
Or what it means

And we'll leave it to the children, what will they have left?
They watch and they wait for a change
Their future's uncertain, they hang on the edge
Waitin' for that long, long train
Will they cry in vain?

Does it make any difference, is this a test?
Was our heart in the right place to see?
Is anyone watching, is anyone there?
Will someone save the last seat for me, oh?

There's so many changes, don't know where to turn
Redemption to some is a game
We take it for granted, we'll all be on board
And won't it be a long, long train
Will they call your name
Or will you cry in vain for that long, long train?
The long, long train
Will you be left out in the rain
Long, long train
Long, long train

People get ready, there's a train a'comin'
Don't need a ticket, you just get on board
Long, long train
