Lyrics
The gospel train is coming
Now don?t you want to go
Sittin? on a fence like a desert rose
And you were knockin your boots down Saddadine Road
But your dogs been howling
Since you?ve been gone
And the door is open
No lights are on.
When I saw you last you told me things
I should have known that you were crying
When I saw you last you showed me things
I should have that you needed
And the wind is coming up from the valley
And I can hear the water singing
Take me home
Take me home.
I can see your big hair
I can feel your body wrap around me
How long?
How many conversations
How long?
How many dreams, how many dreams we shared.
And the wind is coming up from the valley
And I can hear the water singing
Take me home
Take me home.
Fancy dresses and an entourage
Making your way though a night?s mirage
But your dog?s been crying since you?ve been gone
And the door is open
No lights are on.
Talk about suffering here below and let?s keep a loving.
