I should have known to walk away
And save my hate for another day
But how could I have known my hands
Had that kind of power
When they tremble at my sides
Throughout the darkest hours?
I should have known to walk away
And save my hate for the working day
I was working to forget
When you found me back there
In the garden of the bar
Just trying to get some fresh air
But I lost control a moment and
You lost something that you're never gonna get back again
Now I count the days till I see the sky
And think of your face when that old train comes rolling on by
Why'd you have to die?
I should have known to walk away
And save my hate for a rainy day
But my pride's a fragile thing
That I must look after
And I couldn't march away
To the music of laughter
I lost control a moment and
You lost something that you're never gonna get back again
Now I count the days till I see the sky
And think of your face when that old train comes rolling on by
Why'd you have to die?
