Single lit light near the railroad tracksI tried to gather my thoughts and lay out the facts
Must have been midnight, I heard the church bells ring
Ankle deep in snow I recalled everything
Was it something I said or something I did
I looked you in the eyes thats where you usually hid
All I wanted was truth all I wanted was reason
Why you changed on me like some kind of season
Cause now I'm standing here dreamin where my baby gone
With my head phones in playin our favorite song
Well I watched you board that Jersey Transit train
Look on your face burned deep in my brain
You just up and left me to fend for myself
Used all I had then put me back on the shelf
You put on ice, girl, left me to die
Next to this railroad, wonderin why
It's a cryin shame when the warm love goes
Takes all the light to only where God knows, there's
Nothin behind you, nothin ahead
Just train whistles in the distance and her eyes in your head
All a-lone I stand, all a-lone I sing
Without a gun in her hand she took everything
I look to my left, look to my right
Drop to my knees, baby, in the winter night
Ice on the tracks like the ice on my heart
Look in the snow where it all fell apart
Wishin for summer when it's sunny and bright
Here in the cold it's always a fight
It's a cryin shame when the warm love goes
Takes all the light to only where God knows, there's
Nothin behind you, nothin ahead
Just train whistles in the distance and her eyes in your head
Takes all the light to only where God knows, there's
Nothin behind you, nothin ahead
Just train whistles in the distance and her eyes in your head
