Angel on a train

 

I met an angel on a train

I never did get her name

I wanted to but I didn't ask her

I couldn't find her nerve

Oh, if only I'd been a little bolder

I fell in love but never told her

She was like no woman I'd ever seen

But then she was gone vanished like a dream.

 

Oh angel on a train, that afternoon

You were gone a moment too soon

From 'cross the car, I caught your eyes

And I hoped you might realize

That you' taken hold of my heart

But I didn't know where to start

I wish I'd met you on the train

'Cause I've never seen you again.

 

I looked for her in every place

But couldn't find her angel's face

My angel isn't comin' back

And I'm once more rollin' down the track

She's not going with me today

'Cause I'm on my way and cannot stay
