A peaceful life in the hilly country
My friends and I, cigarettes and wine
A sweet sound of a distant melody
We all enjoyed as we pass the time

I heard a voice one summer morning
The more I looked the less I could see
The only voice that stood before me
Was the train whistling through the trees

A day of work, can’t wait to get home
To see the train pass through town
As the cars stopped at the depot
Fate stepped out onto my ground

(chorus)
Train come take me away
Train come take me away
Train come take me away
Train come take me away
Away, away…….

With a pulse racing beat by beat
Like water that pours on the land
She fell below from purple skies
And reached out for my hand
With all the churning deep down inside
Of memories that stay and fade
She sang such words that filled my cup
And covered me in shade

For the first time I saw an angel
A soul that soared completely free
As her eyes gaze down upon me
Blue, blue as the ocean sea

Some say if your lucky
Once in a life it might pass you by
Just when she came down for me
The train came took her from my side
