 When a train  comes, I don't know  what to do
 I'm leaving  town, but I ain't  leaving you
 When I get  down, I get these far  away blues
 And I don't  want to go back home
 I can say I'm sorry,  yeah if you think  it would help
 You say you call  me, yeah but you never  can tell
 You just stand  there, just wishing  me well
Can't  think of nothing to say
 Well I'm  gonna write you a song
Tell  you just how much I been missing  you
 You don't  have to wait very long  and I'll be home,  dear
 And I know that you  been crying at night
 But you  don't have to be lonesome  'cause
 I'm  gonna make it right,  make it up,  make it up to you
 Make it up  to you
 Make it up  to you
 Make it up  to you
 We been gone  now, well for weeks  maybe longer
 Well it's cold  out, and this current's  getting stronger
 I called  you, but you just sat  in that corner
 Watching  that telephone ring
 Well baby pick  up, so I can hear  your sweet voice
 'Cause I miss  you, don't be sad  anymore
 'Cause one  day I'm gonna walk  through that door
 And hold  you in my arms
 (chorus)
 Yeah you been drinking,  you been drinking  your wine
 And you're wasted,  yes and wasting  your  time
 Yeah and it's plain  that when you say  it isn't mine
 Well baby,  can't you see I been trying?
 I'm ready,  'cause I know  this can work
 And I would take  you to the ends  of the earth
 Just hold  on, yeah just a little  bit longer
 And I'll be  back by your side
 (chorus)
