The heavy rain
Feels like tears on her face
Waiting for the train
She is leaving for a new place'Cause she and I
Something wasn't right
We were so uptight
She had to say goodbyeShe's going to the city
She's going to the city
She's leaving her people
And all her troubles behindThe roses in the garden
That she planted long ago
I put them in a vase so I'd
I get a chance to knowWhat it was like to live
With someone who could do this
What it was like to live
With someone now she doesn't missShe's going to the city
She's going to the city
She's leaving her people
And all her troubles behindAnd yes she's so happy
Like she never thought she could be
She's going to the city
On her runaway trainI didn't know what was going on
Too busy to care about what you were
Living through
Living throughShe's going to the city
Oh oh oh oh oh
She's leaving her people
And all her troubles behindAnd yes she's so happy
Like she never thought she could be
She's going to the city
On her runaway train
On her runaway train
