‘Leaving’ that’s all you ever seem to say and I’m tired
The wants you have me for have expired
Sleeping and reading ev’ry book I can find to get my mind off
In all I was a soul you were using
I am alone again
You can’t believe the tears that I’ve shed
I’m on a bound down train
Don’t desert me now or I am dead

People , the sun is going down on your heads so read your paper
There’s no one there for you to confide in
It’s instinct to always to have a shoulder to cry on
And to rely on
Someone there to share and to shine on
I am alone again
You can’t believe the tears that I’ve shed
I’m on a bound down train
Don’t desert me now or I am dead

I am alone again
You can’t believe the tears that I’ve shed
I’m on a bound down train
Don’t desert me down or I am dead
