Trains and boats and planes are passing by.
|
They mean a trip to Paris or Rome
|
To someone else but not for me.
|
The trains and boats and planes
|
Took you away, away from me.
|
|
We were so in love, and high above
|
We had a star to wish upon. Wish
|
And dreams come true, but not for me
|
The trains and boats and planes
|
Took you away, away from me.
|
|
You are from another part of the world,
|
You had to go back a while and then
|
You said you soon would return again.
|
I'm waiting here like I promised to.
|
I'm waiting here but where are you?
|
|
Trains and boats and planes took you a way,
|
But ev'ry time I see them I pray
|
And if my prayers can cross the sea,
|
The trains and the boats and planes
|
Will bring you back, back home to me.
