When You Need a Train It Never Comes

I was dreaming I was tied to a train track twisting in the sun\nBurning up hoping the trains hadn’t quit rolling\nI was ready for it to be done\nBut when you need a train it never comes\nI woke up to you wearing your winter coat\nYou’re leaving everything here but your phone\nAnd I leaned out the window but the tracks below\nWere quiet, calm, and cold\nWhen you need a train it never comes\nWhen you need a train it never comes\nThe union pacific is due for a visit\nAnd believe me I got a plan\nBut the plan’s no good without the train\nAnd when you need a train it never comes\nWhen you need a train it never comes\nStanding in the kitchen with all the dirty dishes\nYou left a lot of things here undone\nThe washer’s leaking and the porch light’s broken\nThings you said you’d get around to I could use a distraction and the noise of the engine\nIt’s rumblin' would at least be a break\nFrom these thoughts screaming and your voice haunting\nThe only thing louder is trains\nThe only thing louder is trains\nThe union pacific is due for a visit\nAnd believe me I got a plan\nBut the plan’s no good without the train\nAnd when you need a train it never comes\nWhen you need a train it never comes\nCrying in the sweater you gave me in this weather-\nWhat am I supposed to do?\nYou can’t leave me with your things as some sort of trade\nCuz you’re wanting something new\nIt’s mean and it’s cruel.\nThe union pacific is due for a visit\nAnd believe me I got a plan\nBut the plan’s no good without the train\nAnd when you need a train it never comes\nWhen you need a train it never comes
