Lyrics

Slow Train A Comin'
copyright 2006 Francisco Rodriguez/Matt Hirt

Verse 1
A dark sky close to midnight
And the wolf is at the door
Sing a song for sweet Georgia
I won't be back there no more
Off to meet with my true love
On this glorious day
There's a slow train a comin'
For to take me away

Verse 2
I've seen rain on a scarecrow
I've seen blood on the field
I've seen men weep like children
For the souls that they kill
In the heart of this jungle
There's a calm in the night
There's a slow train a comin'
For to take me tonight

Verse 3
I can see your pain rising
Like a furious cloud
Lay your head on my shoulder
Won't you lay your troubles down
Please don't say what you're thinkin'
Brother just hold me tight
There's a slow train a comin'
For to take me tonight

Verse 4
If we all go to heaven
There will be tears to shed
For the innocence taken
For the others still ahead
I will leave you my prayers
If you'll leave me your pain
There's a slow train a comin
For to take me away

There's a slow train a comin'
For to take me away
