Текст песни Tom Waits - Down There By The Train

Down There by the Train

There's a place I know, where the train goes slow
Where the sinners can be washed, in the blood of the lamb
There's a river by the trestle, over by Sinners Grove
Down where the willow and the dogwood grow

Down there by the train, down there by the train
Down there by the train, down there by the train
Down there, where the train goes slow

You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bell
From the halls of heaven, to the gates of hell
And there's room for the forsaken, if you're there on time
You'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes

Down there by the train, down there by the train
Down there by the train, down there by the train
Down there, where the train goes slow

     There's a golden moon that shines up through the mist
And I know that your name, Will be on that list
There's no eye for an eye, there's no tooth for a tooth
I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth

Down there by the train, down there by the train
Down there by the train, down there by the train
Down there, where the train goes slow

So if you live in darkness, And if you live in shame
All of the passengers, will be treated the same
Oh, and old Humpty Jackson, And Gyp the Blood will sing
And Charlie Whitman is holding on to Dillinger's wings

They're down there by the train, down there by the train
Down there by the train, down there by the train
Down there, where the train goes slow

   If you've lost all your hope, if you've lost all your faith
I know you will be careful, I know you will be safe
And all of the shameful, and all of the whores
And even the soldier who pierced the heart of the Lord

Is down there by the train, down there by the train
Down there by the train, down there by the train
Down there where the train goes slow

Well I've never asked for forgiveness, I've never said a prayer
Never given of myself, and I've never truly cared
And I've hurt the ones who loved me, and I'm still raising Cain
I've taken the low road, and if you have done the same

Meet me down there by the train, down there by the train
Down there by the train, down there by the train
Down there where the train goes slow 

Final Chorus:

Down there by the train, down there by the train
Down there by the train, down there by the train
Down there where the train goes... 
Down there where the train goes slow    ooooooh...
