Lyrics
A ticket stub in my pocket Soft from the rain I think of all the places I will go again Rain on the rails, rain on the rails Carry me slowly home Rain on the rails, rain on the rails I am not alone The window glass is cold My breath is a little cloud The station lights are floating by Quiet, soft and slow Rain on the rails, rain on the rails Carry me slowly home Rain on the rails, rain on the rails I am not alone Every stop is just a breath Every light a friend The road will bend and bend And bring me home again A far-off bell, a lamp, a name A hand upon the glass The night is long and gentle now And I let it pass Rain on the rails, rain on the rails Carry me slowly home Rain on the rails, rain on the rails I am not alone Rain on the rails I am not alone
