Hello Train
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And hello train, it’s April fool today
And when you get here, I know you’re going to stay
Your letter said you’d travel by the 14:30 line
You’ll be on the platform running
Oops, don’t you look fine
And hello train, it’s April fool today
And won’t it be nice to feel you smile
And won’t it be nice to feel you loving me
And hello train, it’s April fool today
And here comes the gardener, funny little man
He gives me a letter and puts it in my hand
Fumbling with the envelope, and trying to keep cool
Open up the letter, my, my, it’s April fool
And hello train, it’s April fool today
It would have been nice to feel you smile
It would have been nice to feel you loving me
And hello train, it’s April fool today
Unwanting to cry, I sigh, I slide away
And would you believe, the man calls out to stay
Look over my shoulder, hello he isn’t there
Just a heap of railway clothes and whoops, my girlie’s hair
And hello girl, it’s April fool today
And isn’t it nice to feel you smile
And isn’t it nice to feel you loving me
And hello train, it’s April fool today
