We said goodGbye at Union Station
and we Cwent our seperate Gways
And I Gthought I could forget you

Tried Gonly thinking ´bout tomorrow
always Clooking straight Gahead
If my Gmind could keep on racing

[Chorus]
My Ctrain of thougt jumps thGe track
Every Ctime you cross my mGind
EmLike it or not I´m Dlookin´ back
At the Cone I left behind
Ten Cthousand miles down thGe line
Your memory Cstill hot on my tGrail
Every Emtime I think of yoDu I get derFailCed
[Verse]
Every Gtime I get to thinkin´
That I Cmiss you ´little leGss
I pull Gout of one more station
On that FmemoCry expreGss
Where at the Gend of every tunnel
And over Cevery bridge I Gcross
Dreams of Gyou still ly in waiting
To reFmind me of Cwhat I´ve Dlost
