The Engine Driver's Song
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.
She says she's leaving on the first train
From Liverpool Street in the morning
She says they've had all their chances
Should have heeded her final warning
They say they'll see her to the station
At least let them wave her goodbye
But as the train pulled out
Not a single tear fell from her eyes
Now she's been sad and been confused
She's been accused of things she didn't do
So now she's going home not a moment too soon
To the ones who love her most, engine driver please
Does this train take me home, engine driver please
Does this train take me
Her parents said it would only end in tears
So now she's going home without any souvenirs
She hopes her parents are there to meet her from the train
She falls into their arms and tries her best to explain
How she felt sad and so bemused
She was accused of things she didn't do
So now she's come back home not a moment too soon
To the ones who love her most, engine driver please
Does this train take me home, engine driver please
Does this train take me
Kathy's come home
Kathy come home
Engine driver
