Slow Train To Dawn

Slow Train To Dawn - THE THE

I followed that bead of sweat

To the small of your back

From the nape of your neck

Lightin' it up with every drag upon my cigarette

It can run but it can't hide--

Like the unspoken feelings on your mind

I'm too tense to be tender

Your too weak to be true

You try to make it easier upon yourself

By makin' it hard on you

But it's the lies in your eyes

That make me wanna cry--

It's just sometimes I get so lonesome

--I could die

I'm just another western guy

With desires that I can't satisfy

So all the love I gave to you

Means nothing at all

Dear God God God this slow train to dawn

So are you lying when you say you love me

I'm lying when I say I don't--

We've opened our hearts to let each other look in

To have and to hold

But it's the words that remain unsaid

That are the words I wanna hear you speak

I bet the birds start singing & the sun comes up

Before we fall asleep--

Oh the tears in your eyes just make me wanna cry

It's just sometimes I get so lonesome--I Could Die
