Lyrics:

CHORUS: How long has that evening train been gone (whoa whoa)? I wanna know How long has that evening train been gone (whoa whoa)? I have a babe that was standing at the station Waiting for a train I ran to the door with my heart in my hand (heart in my hand) And all my future plans (future plans) I've gotta catch him if I can Is that express, Mr. Station-Man? I woke up this morning with a smile on my face Feeling that the world, the world was a beautiful place CHORUS On a scrap of paper Was the train-arriving information His room was empty and his closet's bare (closet's bare) And not a single shirt was hanging there (hanging there) How could the guy just up and leave me? What did I do that was so displeasing? Only yesterday, he held me tight He told me everything, everything's gonna be alright Oh, he said he loved me and he cried Oh yeah, he said he loved me and he cried Oh yes, he did now There must be an explanation Come on and move out the station Can't ya see that he's taking my world And making me a sad, sad girl? That's why I can't let go That's why I gotta know CHORUS (repeat and fade out)
