Testo Down There By the Train - Tom Waits
Testo della canzone Down There By the Train (Tom Waits), tratta dall'album Orphans
Well, there's a place I know where the train goes slow
Where the sinners can be washed in the blood of the Lamb
There's a river by the trestle over by sinner's grove
Down where the willow and the dogwood grows
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there where the train goes slow
You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bell
From the halls of Heaven to the gates of Hell
And there's room for the forsaken if you're there on time
You'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there where the train goes slow
There's a golden moon that shines up through the mist
And I know that your name will be on that list
There's no eye for an eye, there's no tooth for a tooth
I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there where the train goes slow
So if you live in darkness, if you live in shame
All of the passengers will be treated the same
Old Humpty Jackson and Gyp the Blood will sing
And Charlie Whitman is holding on to Dillinger's wings
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there where the train goes slow
If you've lost all your hope, you've lost all your faith
I know you will be cared for, I know you will be safe
And all of the shameful and all of the whores
And even the soldier who pierced the heart of the Lord
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there where the train goes slow
I've never asked forgiveness, I've never said a prayer
I've never given of myself and I've never truly cared
I've hurt the ones who love me and I'm still raising Cain
I've taken the low road and if you've done the same
Meet me down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there where the train goes slow
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there by the train
Down there where the train goes
Down there where the train goes slow
