I heard the pitter patter
Of a slow winter rain
I heard the lonesome whistle
Of a far away train
As I sat in the silence
Broken only by pain
I heard a heartbreak
Last night (last night)
Oh, how you cried when we said goodbye
As we stood at the station in the rain (when we said goodbye)
And a whip-poor-will singin' from a pine tree close by
When we heard the whistle of your train
I heard the mournful sobbing
Of the wind in the pine
I felt the cold icy fingers
Of fear from my spine
For I knew in my heart
You'd never be mine
And I heard a heartbreak
Last night
For I knew in my heart
You'd never be mine
And I heard a heartbreak
Last night (last night)
