Gillian Welch Leaving Train Lyrics

Leaving Train Lyrics

The finest silver needle

Shouldn't ever slide between

When lovers stand as parting friends

Gonna put myself on a leaving train

And I won't come back again



I could wait 'til morning

If it don't come down today

A dime says I won't be satisfied

Gonna put myself on a leaving train

And I won't come back again



The words that go unspoken

On the color of the sun

And the coolin' air of the evening shade

And the breathless hours on the sleeping plane

And the last taillight on a leaving train

And I won't come back again

And I won't come back again
