Lyrics

I Thought I Heard a Train
©Tom Mason & Billy Alcorn, Air Deluxe Music, BMI
 
 A candle casts a lonesome shadow
From the table by the bed
Like the curtains in the window
I’m just hanging by a thread
Outside the wind is moaning
A sad and soft refrain
And off somewhere in the distance
I Thought I Heard a Train
 
Chorus:
I Thought I Heard a Train
Off somewhere in the night
Through the darkness and the pain
I can almost see the light
Like the sweet sound of salvation
Come to carry me away
To an unknown destination
I Thought I Heard a Train
 
I will dry these tears of sorrow 
Bring this heartache to an end
And with the power of a freight train
Make these wheels roll again
Outside the sun is rising
Shining through the pouring rain
And off somewhere in the distance
I Thought I Heard a Train
