Lyrics

INTRO BRASS riff
VERSE Life and love
And what it means to me
Once upon a time
You would find me
CHORUS Waiting for the train to pick me up
And for the plane to fly around the world
And for the sun to come around
And for the rain to stop against my window
Stop against my window
VERSE You know that one day
You may meet me in your mind
What you will find
Well, I’ve still to find oh yeh
CHORUS X 2



2nd chorus only Waiting for the train to pick me up
And for the plane to fly around the world
And for the sun to come around
And for the rain to stop against my window
Stop against my window
Stop against my window
Stop against my window
Backing singing Train x3
SOLO SAX
VERSE
Life and love
And what it means to me
Once upon a time
You would find me
CHORUS X 2



2nd chorus only Waiting for the train to pick me up
And for the plane to fly around the world
And for the sun to come around
And for the rain to stop against my window
Stop against my window
Stop against my window
Stop against my window
END SEQUENCE Train x3
Waiting for the train Rpt to end
