Train Song lyrics

Traveling North, traveling North to find you
Train wheels beating, the wind in my eyes
Don't even know what I'll say when I find you
Call out your name, love, don't be surprised
It's so many miles, and so long since I've left you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles, and it won't be long
It won't be long
It won't be long
It won't be long
Nothing at all in my head, to say to you
Only the beat of the train I'm on
Nothing I've learned all my life, on the way to you
Only our love, it's over and gone
It's so many miles, and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles, and it won't be long
It won't be long
It won't be long
It won't be long
