WDhen my train rolled Hmin one F#m7day
It wDas the Hmend of a long F#m7way
GIt felt lGike coming hEmome
EGven 'though Geverything was unAknown
Refrain
SDlow tF#rain, GI went awGay without a wAord
SDlow tF#rain, oGne way, I nGever will retA7urn
I'd started five days ago
From a place I better wouldn't know
I left all that I had got behind
For the luck that I hoped to find
Refrain
Somewhere soft green hills were passing by
Above a grey and milky sky
I passed stations no one seemed to need
While the wheels grumbled 'neath my feed
Refrain
Crossing the mountains I fell asleep
I don't know how long I'd counted the sheeps
I spent the minutes, hours and miles
By dreaming of the promissed better times
Refrain
When I left the station stepping out on the place
A bright sun was shining in my face
And all the clouds that had occupied my brain
Seemed to be washed away by a hard rain
Refrain
one way, I never will return
one way, I never will return
