Lyrics:

1973

I'm sitting back and I'm thinkin' about
When you left your only home

Your note said you went to Charleston
But I know you went to New Mexico

You left behind a dead father
A sick mother and 4 younger kids

Now you're all ready for rich lovers
May the father in heaven forgive

So I'll keep waiting for that train
To bring you back to me

Even if our love could never be
I'll be standin' in the rain

Oh, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah

I've waited so long to see you
Your ivory fingers and toes

Curly hair and lashes
And the cheek of a red velvet rose

Pink lace and satin dresses
Will be waitin' here for you

Pretty shoes and bonnets
And a love from me to you

So I'll keep waiting for that train
To bring you back to me

Even if our love could never be
I'll be standin' in the rain
Even if our love could never be
I'll be standin' in the rain

So I'll keep waiting for that train
To bring you back to me

Even if our love could never be
I'll be standin' in the rain

Even if our love could never, never be
I'll be standin' in the rain

Even if our love could never be
I'll be standin' in the rain

Unh, unh, unh, unh, unh
Unh, unh, unh, unh, unh
Unh, unh, unh, unh, unh
Unh, unh, unh, unh, unh

I'll keep standin'
I'll keep sandin'
