down the street
a baby just cried
when he woke up all alone
a train’s leaving town
oh that lonesome sound
it’s chilling me right to the bone
a song is playing
i can barely hear
about a love that’s gone wrong
the freezing rain on my window pane
listen they’re playing my song
taps being played
by a soldier’s grave
so sad it torments your soul
listen to that north wind moan
tonight is so dark and cold
somewhere a siren
cuts through the night
it sounds like the
whole world’s gone wrong
thunder just warned
but it’s coming a storm
listen they’re playing my song
listen they’re playing my song
