Last Train Home Lyrics

You haven't changed
Stand in the light
I need to see you
Uncover my eyes

The tears coming down
Making lines on your face
One for each year, now
That you've been away

We were only kids
We ran like water
Your dad said
Stay away from my daughter
The sun was coming down when I said
Can't you just believe?

And if you wait for me
I'll be the light in the dark if you lose your way
And if you wait for me
I'll be your voice when you don't know what to say
I'll be your shelter
I'll be your fate
I'll be forever
Wait for me
I'll be the last train
I'll be the last train home

You were a storm
It blew us away
I wouldn't leave you
But you couldn't stay

We were only kids
We ran like water
Your dad said
Stay away from my daughter
The sun was coming down when I said
Can't you just believe?

And if you wait for me
I'll be the light in the dark if you lose your way
And if you wait for me
I'll be your voice when you don't know what to say
I'll be your shelter
I'll be your fate
I'll be forever
Wait for me

I'll be the last train
I'll be the last train home
We were only kids
We ran like water
I told your dad
I love your daughter
The sun was coming down when I said
Hallie just believe

And if you wait for me
I'll be the light in the dark if you lose your way
And if you wait for me
I'll be your voice when you don't know what to say
I'll be your shelter
I'll be your fate
I'll be forever
Wait for me

I'll be the last train
I'll be the last train
Hold on to love
And wait for me

I'll be the last train
I'll be the last train home

I'll be the last train
I'll be your last train home

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
