Lyrics

I've been hanging around this station
Long enough to know
Where the brakeman disappears
When the whistle blows
And who's gonna make it out all right
When the final night train shows
Ah babe, it's true
I've seen a lot of women here
Waiting just like you
Hear the fireman start singing
The same time every day
The same song about his life
And his well planned getaway
And it's a shame to hear such a pretty voice
With not one thing to say
Ah babe, it's true
You would have loved him back in town
If he'd only sung for you
Moonlight on the water tower
Always shines so cold
In the shadow of the pay phone
Where the saints are getting bold
And it don't matter to them now
If it's real or just fool's gold
Ah babe, it's true
I heard all the saints tonight
Talking only of you
Listen deep into the night, girl
Can you hear the whistle blow?
Looks like you're gonna make it out all right
But there's one thing you must know
The only ones who can help you now
Are the ones who must stay here when you go
Ah babe, it's true
I've seen a lot of women here
Smiling just like you
And there are some saints still in hiding
By the river in the reeds
And they're turning down every train
That don't feel the right speed
Sing 'em this song when you pass by
It'll be your last good deed
Ah babe, it's true
The saints are down every line
Waiting just for you
