Intro: He took a silver train All the way to Maine On the way to everything Railroad wings There's things you don't know you know I thought anger told me what to do With emptiness chasing me On the border, I found you Should have heard her sing Railroad wings This emptiness has followed me Like a cold blue sky And it has not been easy for you There's things I'll never tell you 'Til the day I die Things I done, I can never undo Hiding everything Railroad wings INTERLUDE: All these years along The lights are growing dim I hear you sing your song In the next room As far as I can tell Most everything means nothing Except some things That mean everything Railroad wings Railroad wings Railroad wings
