The last train's leaving
Blind Willie's there
Playing the blues and going nowhere
He drinks too much
Could've been great
It's too late baby now it's too late
CHORUS
Bluer words were never spoken
Promises forever broken
Trains coming through
And the whistle cries for you
Bluer words were never spoken
You give Willie a brand new ten
You always saw the best in him
Baby please don't go
I swear I'll change
You say you're sorry but I'm too late
CHORUS
Rain's beatin' down
Everybody's gone
Willie still singing the same sad song
I say Willie give it a break
And he just says it won't stop the rain
CHORUS
