Beacon Street (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith

Gonna wake up crazy to the cry of the trains on Beacon Street

So far from home so far from love so far from a friend in need

And all I need is a heart to hold and a good night's sleep

And all I have is the cry of the trains

As they bid farewell on Beacon Street

And here I am again I'm in the company of strangers

It's a cold winter wind that sings a song

You say your love is lost I'm not the kind who lingers on

So it's farewell to your heart

'Cause when the love is gone it's gone

I never did feel lonely till I looked in the mirror and all I could see

Was a little bit of you in the corner of an eye in need of a good night's sleep

And all I need is to close my eyes to find my dreams

And all I had was the cry of the trains

As we bid farewell on Beacon Street

And here I am again I'm in the company of strangers

It's a cold winter wind that sings a song

You say your love is lost I'm not the kind who lingers on

So it's farewell to your heart

'Cause when the love is gone it's gone

Gonna wake up crazy to the cry of the trains on Beacon Street

So far from home so far from love so far from a friend in need

And all I need is a heart to hold and a good night's sleep

And all I have is the cry of the trains

As they bid farewell on Beacon Street

And all I have is the cry of the trains

As they bid farewell to a lonely heart on Beacon Street
