Last Chance Train lyrics

[Intro]
October leaves are fallin', so am I
A harvest moon is callin' me and I know why
The traffic's like a symphony in blue

[Verse 1]
In the autumn air I smell your sweet perfume
I miss you sittin' cross-legged in this empty room
Yesterdays are eatin' me alive

[Pre-Chorus]
If I'm your angel, baby, I've got broken wings
I can't walk, I can't run, I can't drop until you're next to me
So the only thing

[Chorus]
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on a last chance train
Leave a flower at the station, I know my destination
Love, bring me home again

[Verse 2]
You try to reach me but I sailed away
You tried to read me but my words got in the way
The music's over but the dance has just begun
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish that I could just get back to Baltimore
You know I'd scratch, I'd claw, I'd scream 'til I'm raw
Just to fall down at your door

[Chorus]
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on a last chance train
Leave a flower at the station, I know my destination
Love, bring me home again

[Bridge]
Let the scarecrows laugh comin' down the tracks (Ooh)
At the broken hearts that don't come back (Ooh)
'Cause the train has left the station with my pain (Ooh)
Let 'em forget my name, oh
I'm on a last chance train

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Sitting here I smoke my nineteenth cigarette
Now all that's left are ashes, butts, and my regrets
It's your taste that I just can't forget

[Chorus]
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on a last chance train
[Bridge]
Let the scarecrows laugh comin' down the tracks (Ooh)
At the broken hearts that don't come back (Ooh)
We'll be laughin' at them, cryin' in the rain (Ooh)
It's you and I again, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on a last chance train
Leave a flower at the station, I know my destination
Love, bring me home again
I'm on a last chance train
It's going to bring me home to you
Oh, the last chance train, comin' through, my babe
This time I'm comin' through, comin' through

[Outro]
(Hoo-hoo)
Las chance, last chance, last chance, last chance, last chance
(Hoo-hoo)
(Hoo-hoo)
(Hoo-hoo)
(Hoo-hoo)
