"Heard A Train" lyrics

"Heard A Train"

Here comes that cherry pain
Like knowing I'm going to be on and all the same
Here comes that cherry pain
All things faded to their own way

You made this engine, lord keep it running
They called my brother Jesus of nothing
I haven't ever gone back again
Heard a train everywhere I been

A maimed song in an overcoat
First song on an overdose
Living on is a wage of sin
Your only mask, your suffering

Anyone here could have touched me
A touch is only rain
Somebody said that they miss me
But who that was I couldn't say
They all called it a day when I'd left already

Forgive me father for being hungry
So long sister, mean and ugly
Dreams stripped down to a ragged memory
I see a face everywhere they send me

Never coming this way again
I heard a train everywhere I been
There's no such thing as an easy way down
Or sleepwalking on holy ground

Anyone here could have touched me
A touch is only rain
Somebody said that they miss me
But who that was I couldn't say
They all called it a day when I'd left already

This engine, keep it running
Your master is suffering
I'm never coming this way again
I heard a train everywhere I been

Looking around down underground
Sleepwalking and easy down
Bury the nail and you leave it in
Living on is a wage of sin

Anyone here could have touched me
A touch is only rain
Somebody said that they miss me
But who that was I couldn't say
They all called it a day when I'd left already

You shouldn't have walked with me love
You know my eyes don't see
Nothing but this strange and perfect dream
Where all things are lone
Like the dog I am
Just one more ride, just one more chance
Here comes that cherry pain
