Lyrics:

A straw headed woman
And a barrel chested man
A pocket full of posies
With a hat brim full of sand
Ooh, ooh
Waiting for the train that never comes
A dog chasing the tumbleweeds
Across the sandy floor
Adrift along the platform
Through the ticket office door
Ooh, ooh
Waiting for the train that never comes
Ooh, ooh
Waiting for the train that never comes
But don't tell me there's nothing coming
You don't fool me
I hear the ghost train rumbling
Along the track to set them free
And I hear them
It's black and white, don't try to hide it
It's black and white, don't try to hide it

The Stationmaster's writing
With a piece of orange chalk
A hundred cancellations
Still no one wants to walk
Keep the hungry children
From the skeletons in the van
Aim to keep an eye out
For the gypsy caravan
Ooh, ooh
Waiting for the train that never comes
Ooh, ooh
Waiting for the train that never comes

I hear the ghost train rumbling
Along the track to set them free
And I hear them
It's black and white, don't try to hide it
It's black and white, don't try to hide it
It's black and white, don't try to hide it
It's black and white, don't try to hide it
It's black and white (don't try)
It's black and white (don't try)
It's black and white, don't try to hide it
It's black and white, don't try to hide it
And I hear them
It's black and white, don't try to hide it
It's black and white, don't try to hide it
