On this night
More water than the world can bear
Rain and muddy water
On this night
Somebody moving
In the swamp out there
And rain, nothing but rain

I was half way to sleeping
I've tried to go back
To a forgotten railcar
On a forgotten track

Stopped there in the darkness
A forgotten train
On a night with no tomorrow
And nothing but rain

A forgotten railcar
On a forgotten track
And a child who was born there
In the deep Delta black

Tears in the darkness
A forgotten railcar
I've been trying to find you
I want to know where you are

Stopped there in the darkness
A forgotten train
On a night with no tomorrow
And nothing but rain
