A Train Went Past The Window Songtext / Lyric

A train went past the window

To interrupt the night

The waiting hours of morning

Seemed further from his sight



The wet wall by the playground

Glistened through the rain

And crying seemed as natural

As parents always claim






Silence makes the memory loud

And silence makes me pray

Though empty hearts can beat as loud

As full ones during the day



Sorrow that a desperate man

Can chase away with light

Always finds his spirit weak

When evening turns to night



The Kings Cross train slows down at night

When the sky is dark

Right next to the infant school

Opposite the park



Rain falls down on Abbeyhill

Memories start to shout

As sky and locomotive

Let the tears run out
