Open your eyes, I'm comin' through
On a midnight train with a bottle of booze
And I've never been this far before.
We're drowning in the sweetest sin.
My body's bruised and my soul's worn thin.
I'm counting back the days til I am home.
Sing to me sweetly.
What I'm feeling ain't what I been told.
She wonders if he's coming back.
She won't waste time looking down the tracks.
He's never come this far before.
But dawn broke and the light spills in
Around a dark silhouette and he steps in
She fills his arms and he is home.
Sing to me sweetly.
What I'm feeling ain't what I been told.
Sing to me sweetly.
What I'm feeling ain't what I been told.
Says he needs some time to think.
It's been three years and things have changed.
It seems that you just can't let him go.
You waited for so very long,
For something real, for something strong,
Knowing he just can't let go.
Sing to me sweetly.
What I'm feeling ain't what I been told.
Sing to me sweetly.
What I'm feeling ain't what I been told.
Sing to me sweetly.
What I'm feeling ain't what I been told.
