"The Coal Train" lyrics - CRIME & THE CITY SOLUTION

I hear her calling, I think
I see her now
I think I hear her calling now
Hear her calling now
That lady of flowers
And her softs spell
Her sweet taste
Takes me far from his place
Oh and the love train
The love train is in the station now
In the station now

That old devil man
Deep down there
In his fire home
Rose up knee high
With his song of desire
Words of deceit
Dropped there at my feet
Now outside my door he stands
That old man of shadowAnd his shadow band
For downn the thorny road
Are we bound
Without light
Without soundAnd he's knocking
On my door
He says
It's time we were going boy
Donwn that old road of sorrow

And now he's walking
There beside me
That old man of shadow
Now there's this girl
He says you can't forsake
This girl it's said
You're bound to take
He says
The Coal Train
Is due here soon
Is due here soon

It'll come in time
Yes it's coming soon
It'll draw in close
Oh no I say
Not this one
Not this one for that coal train
Not this one
For your cold coal train

I had no love
For her skinny waist
I had no love
For her at all
Just a need
Just a need
When she stole me
Along by the roadside

And rattled the tin strings
Of my body blue
Oh I'm getting older now
I'm getting older

Walking down that road
With that old man of shadow
That old man of shadow
And it's growing darker now
And night is ever near
Night is ever near
Oh here it comes again
Here it comes again
The Coal Train baby
That Coal Train tonight
The Coal Train baby
The cold coal train
