Can't Stop the Train - Ted Gärdestad

I am on my way on a train,

steaming along in the rain,

from the life I lived before.

I have a tear in my eye.

Sometimes it's easy to cry

though I'm not a child any more.

Can't stop the train from rolling

or make the wheels turn slow.

You know I had to go.

Can't stop the train from rolling

and neither snow or rain

could get me back again

I am on the run from my home.

Somehow I'll make it alone

if I'm strong enough today.

You know I had to go on. Whoaoh.

Pray for me when I am all gone.

Think of me sometime anyway.

Can't stop the train from rolling

or make the wheels turn slow.

You know I had to go.

Can't stop the train from rolling

and neither snow or rain

could get me back again.
