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
