Always said to leave the light on, Always said you would come home, Now it's just me and our little baby, And this heart cold as a stone. When I saw the officers coming, Then I knew you were gone, Then I saw nothing but that long black train rolling home. When we first met we were in high school, Your eyes they burned into my soul, You placed your ring on my little finger, Then we both knew you had to go. When you flew into the mountains, Did you look into the sun? Did you know you'd be riding on that long black train rolling home? When you flew into the night, I felt her kicking inside of me, But now she's here and you are gone I'm as lonesome as somebody could be. But now I look at our baby daughter, Does she know there's something wrong? Does she know that she has no father? Does she know that it's you that I mourn? Will she miss her sisters that never were born? Did you see them riding on that long black train rolling home? Did you see them riding on that long black train rolling home? On that long black train rolling home, On that long black train rolling home.
