The sunshine comes from lonesome valley
|
And all alone I must remain
|
While far away through lonesome vallay
|
Comes a dying cry of the midnight train
|
|
How many tears how many sorrow
|
How many hearts are died in pain
|
Whose love today is gone tomorrow
|
Carried away on that midnight train
|
[ fiddle - dobro ]
|
We shared our love in sweet surrender
|
With happy tears and hidden pain
|
For well we knew our dream was ending
|
And you must go on that midnight train
|
|
That heart burns low the song is dying
|
And only memories remain
|
The teardrops flow my heart keeps crying
|
When I hear the wail of the midnight train
|
|
How many tears how many sorrow...
