"Waiting On A Train" lyrics

"Waiting On A Train"

It's time that I was leaving
Should have left here long ago
You'd rather see me sorry
Than knowing what I know
I wish it was asleep instead
Of hanging here up above my head
I'm crying
In the wintertime, woman

Pull all my shit together
Try for another breath
Lonely living sorrow
Holding on like death
From the play of lights below
Is that church bells ringing or the whistle blowing?
I don't care
I'm gone
Shooting up and down the tracks

Morning comes
Cold chills and shakes
Just reminding me of my mistake
Well, alright
Now get your smell off of me, mama

It's time that I was leaving
I left here long ago
You'd rather see me sorry
Than knowing what you know
Wish it was asleep instead
Of hanging here up above my head
Late, late in the midnight crawling

Just waiting on a train
