Love Gone in Vain

I trailed her down to the station

Suitcase hanging from my hand

Yes, I trailed her down to the station

Suitcase trembling in mine

And it hurt to know, Lord, it hurt to know

That all my love might end in vain

Oh, my love gone in vain

When that big train rolled in slowly

I caught the sorrow in her eyes

When that long train rolling slowly

I saw the sadness in her eyes

I felt so empty, Lord, I felt so empty

Couldn’t hold back a single cry

Oh, my love gone in vain

When that train pulled out the station

Two lights burning from behind

When that slow train left the station

Two dim lights glowing from behind

The blue shined on my heartache

And the red drove through my mind

Oh, my love gone in vain

Oh, my darling

Oh, my darling

Oh Lord, have mercy

Oh, my love gone in vain

Now I’m standing by the trackside

Wind blowing through the rain

I’m standing by the trackside

Watching love slip like a train

Every mile she pulls away

I feel that burning ache again

Oh, my love gone in vain

Oh, my love gone in vain
