As the train left the station   I'm amazed that you turned back   'Cause the way that you left      I smashed my head upon the tracks   Plead and bleed for you to come back   They had to drag me to the house      Where we shared a bed   Through an iron gate you lead   Him to the house      As the sun left the horizon   You left my life   And now it's all dark   I trip and fall on any knife      How many tears how many pints   Must I spill until?   How many years under the spell?   How many rings of the bell?   I'm crying out to you   I'm crying out to you      Boy, you may have her love   Have it now in spades   But when summer comes to fall   You know her love will fade      Sir, I've seen her love fade   Through an iron gate she laid   Me on the tracks      Oh, how I wish that it'd roll back   And how I wish I didn't cry   And how I'm dying now for you   I'm dying now for you
