(Gill/Clark)
|
When Jenny was a little girl, she only dreamed of trains.
|
She never play with dolls or lacy kinds of things.
|
Jenny counted boxcars instead of counting sheep,
|
she could go anywhere when she went to sleep.
|
All she ever talked about was getting on the ride,
|
she was living in another time, you could see it in her eyes.
|
And every day after school she'd head down to the track,
|
waiting for a train that was never coming back.
|
|
Jenny dreamed of trains when the nighttime came.
|
Nobody knew how she made it come true, Jenny dreamed of trains.
|
|
The depot's been boarded up, the trains have turned to rust.
|
There hasn't been a train through here since the mill went bust.
|
No one believed her when she said she heard the train,
|
they said she was just a little girl acting kind of strange.
|
|
Jenny dreamed of trains when the nighttime came.
|
Nobody knew how she made it come true, Jenny dreamed of trains.
|
|
Jenny laid a penny on the track one day, in God we trust, she walked away.
|
The very next morning all she could find
|
was a little piece of copper squashed flatter than a dime.
|
|
Jenny dreamed of trains when the nighttime came.
|
Nobody knew how she made it come true, Jenny dreamed of trains.
|
Jenny dreamed of trains when the nighttime came.
|
Nobody knew how she made it come true, Jenny dreamed of trains.
