Lyrics

Waiting for the train to come
I keep waiting for the train to come
Dreaming of the river and the rising sun
I keep thinking 'bout the world to come


My life packed up in a suitcase
Old man staring from the doorway
My hope tarries in the distance
Love comes on the wheels of my deliverance


Oh, where is the river unbroken
Oh, when will the whistle blow


Waiting for the train to come
I keep waiting for the train to come
Keeping my appointment with the one who lives
In the heart of everything that is


All night sleeping at the station
Dear God, it's hard not to be impatient
I watch through the windows of forgiveness
I cry, and my word's my only witness


Oh, where is the river unbroken
Oh, when will the whistle blow
Oh, where is the river unbroken
Oh, when will the whistle blow


Sometimes I feel I can't go on
I get so tired all passion's gone
Me head, me heart, my arms, my legs
Without the strength to crawl away


Then something breaks inside my soul
That spirit finally taking hold
My ears can hear, my eyes can see
Those clouds that cover me ... singing


Oh, mmmm, tell me where is the river unbroken
Oh, where is the river unbroken
Oh, when will the whistle blow
Oh, where is the river unbroken
When will the whistle blow


I'm waitin' for the train
I'm ready for the train ... singing


Wow, oh wow wow, oh wow wow .... (fade)
