I remember the sound of the passing train
As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain
And the touch of a hand and the way she said `Goodbye`.
And we walked in the sun down the royal mile
Saw the light in her eye and the way she smiled
And she cried in the night and I heard her say `Don`t go`.
What can I do, sweet darlin`, I don`t want to go away
Looking at you sweet darlin`, I know I want to stay
What can I do, sweet darlin`?
In the light of the day I was rolling home
I was thinking of you waiting on your own
And I wanted to call but then something said `Oh no`.
Yeah but now it`s a dream, it`s a memory
But I`ll never forget what you gave to me
I was lost and alone but you made feel ok.
What can I do, sweet darlin`, I don`t want to go away
Looking at you sweet darlin`, I know I want to stay
What can I do, sweet darlin`?
I remember the sound of the passing train
As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain
And the touch of a hand and the way she said `Goodbye`.
What can I do, sweet darlin`, I don`t want to go away
Looking at you sweet darlin`, I know I want to stay
What can I do, sweet darlin`?
