The Girl I Left Behind

The Girl I Left Behind - Kenny Rankin

As my train pulls out I look back

At the tears falling from her eyes

How painful

Something in her lost expression

Seems to be asking why I go

Funny even I don't know

I don't know where i'm going to

Or what I'll find

Could it be that I'm waiting for

The girl I left behind

Now I want to reach my hand out

And wipe the wet tears from her cheek

Touch those lips too scared to speak

But I know there are two directions

To each and every rail road track

Does she know that I'll come back

Does she know that I'll come back
