Coming Home

Elusive

have I come
to the end of the line
another drink
is sinking tonight
her name was sorrow
gave me these chains
through a closing door
she calls my name

I’ve seen their prayers
on angel wings
so lost somewhere
so cold

here comes the train
the poisoned hearts
and the haunting ghost
here comes the train
and I’m coming home
I’m on the train
to hear the last song
here comes the train
I’m coming home

erasing pictures
down at the bar
don’t know where
it’s a lonely town
outside the window
there’s always the rain
and through the door
comes the pain
higher and higher
we aim for the stars
the light holds no promise for you
higher and higher
she’ll take me tonight
through fire and dust and her eyes

here comes the train
through all the rights
and all the wrongs
here comes the train
and I’m coming home
I’m on the train
to hear the last song
here comes the train
I’m coming home
