"Thought I Heard A Train" lyrics

A candle casts a lonesome shadow from the table by the bed
Like the curtains in the window, I'm just hanging by a thread
Outside the wind is moaning a sad and soft refrain
And off somewhere in the distance I thought I heard a train

I thought I heard a train, off somewhere in the night
Through the darkness, through the pain, I can almost see the light
Like the sweet sound of salvation come to carry me away
To an unknown destination, I thought I heard a train

I will dry these tears of sorrow, bring this heartache to an end
With the power of a freight train, make these wheels roll again
Outside the sun is rising, shining through the pouring rain
And off somewhere in the distance, I thought I heard a train

I thought I heard a train, off somewhere in the night
Through the darkness, through the pain, I can almost see the light
Like the sweet sound of salvation come to carry me away
To an unknown destination, I thought I heard a train
