[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I was half way to sleeping
I've tried to go back
To a forgotten railcar
On a forgotten track

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

[Verse 3]
A forgotten railcar
On a forgotten track
And a child who was born there
In the deep Delta black

[Verse 4]
Tears in the darkness
A forgotten railcar
I've been trying to find you
I want to know where you are
[Chorus]
Stopped there in the darkness
A forgotten train
On a night with no tomorrow
And nothing but rain
