[Verse 1]
Waiting for the train to come
I keep waiting for the train to come
Dreaming' of the river and the rising sun
I keep thinking' 'bout the world to come
[Verse 2]
My life packed up in a suitcase
Old man staring from a doorway
My hope tarries in the distance
Love comes on the wheels of my deliverance
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oooh-oh
Where is the river unbroken:
Oh-oh-oooh-oh
When will the whistle blow?
[Verse 3]
Waiting' for the train to come
I keep waiting' for the train to come
Keeping' my appointment with the one who lives
In the heart of everything that is
[Verse 4]
All night sleeping' in a station
My God, it's hard not to be impatient
I watch through the windows of forgiveness
I cry but my word's my only witness
[Chorus][x2]
[Verse 5]
Sometimes I feel I can't go on
I can't go on
I get so tired, all pa**ion's gone
My heart, my head, my arms, my legs
I get so tired
Without the strength to crawl away
Then something breaks inside my soul
My strength is gone
That spirit's finally taking hold
My ears can hear
My eyes can see
Those clouds of joy still cover me, cover me, cover me
[Chorus][x2]
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Waiting for the train to come
I keep waiting for the train to come
