The Last Train - Janis Ian
Written by：Janis Ian
How long how long has this train been gone
Was there a man who asked for me
I thought he'd wait to say so long
I'm later than I meant to be
The station master closed his eyes
Said my dear the trains are gone
Though forty years ago this night
The last train left for Vietnam
She said my hair is lit with gray
No roses bloom upon my lips
It seems like only yesterday
He graced me with a lover's kiss
Then in the distance thunder pealed
A whistle pierced the cricket's song
And you could see the sparks and the wheels
Of the last train back from Vietnam
It stopped just long enough to board
And as she ran time set her free
A young man helped her through the door
And said I knew you would wait for me
There's many a young boy
Who won't come back
Many a young girl who waits alone
Sometimes we need on lifes long track
Be more that last train and all
