Lyrics
Trains and boats and planes
Are passing by,
They mean a trip
To Paris or Rome
For someone else
But not for me
The trains and the boats and planes
Took you away, away from me.
We were so in love,
And high above
We had a star
To wish upon, wish
And dreams come true,
But not for me
The trains and the boats and planes
Took you away, away from me.
You are from another part of the world
You had to go back home, but then
You said you would return again
I waited here like I promised to
I am waiting here but where are you
Trains and boats and planes
Took you away,
But every time I see them I pray
And if my pray
Can cross the sea,
The trains and the boats and planes
Will bring you back,
Back home to me...
Uouuuuuuuu
Mmmmmmhmmmmhmhhmmhmhmmm
The trains and the boats and planes
Will bring you back,
Back home to me.
---Instrumental---
