lyrics

i stood on the platform
i stood in the rain
as we said good by
and the train pulled away

raindrops and whistles
clackety clack
the sound of the train
i'll never forget

all the thoughts in my head
won't help now
but the memory of you
might help somehow

but raindrops and whistles
clackety clack
the sound of a train
won't bring you back

i took for granted
the love in your eyes
i will never forget
your lovely smile

but i was ambitious
i loved the climb
to the top of the hill
and some day we,d have time

to walk in the rain
and we'd take a train
to a happier place
but that train never came

i was ambitious
but i new some day
you would love me again
when we had some time

i stood on the platform
i stood in the rain
as we said good by
and the train pulled away
