Laura Nyro - Blackpatch lyrics
Been on a train
And did you hear the whistle blow?
Been on a train north
Baby did you hear the whistle blow?
I saw a man take a needleful of hard drug
And die slow.
Been on a train
And I'm never gonna be the same.
There's a bright light in the north wind
Gonna bring you home
Mister there's a bright light in the north wind
It's gonna bring you home
He said: "Sweet darling woman
Leave me alone".
Been on a train
And I'm never gonna be the same.
You got more tracks on you baby
Than the tracks of this trainLaura Nyro - Blackpatch - http://motolyrics.com/laura-nyro/blackpatch-lyrics.html
You got no guts, no gospel
And you got no brains
He said: "I got just one thing
Gonna soothe my pain?"
No, no
Damn you mister
And I dragged him out the door
Damn you mister
And I dragged him out the door.
He died in the morning sun
And I ain't going north no more.
I suspect there's a train
Going north in a month or two
I still hear his words
He said: "There's nothing left to say or do"
But mister you were wrong
And I'm gonna sing my song for you.
Been on a train
And I'm never gonna be the same.
