Waiting for the Ghost Train Lyrics

A straw headed woman
And a barrel chested man
A pocket full of posies
With a hat brim full of sandOoh, waiting for the train that never comesA dog chasing the tumbleweeds
Across the sandy floor
That drift along the platform
Through the ticket office doorOoh, waiting for the train that never comes
Ooh, waiting for the train that never comesBut don't tell me there's nothing coming
You don't fool me
I hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks
Set them free and I hear themIt's black and white don't try to hide
It's black and white don't try to hideThe station master's writing
With a piece of orange chalk
A hundred cancellations
Still no one wants to walkKeep the hungry children
From the skeletons in the back
Paid to keep an eye out
For the gypsy caravanOoh, waiting for the train that never comes

Ooh, waiting for the train that never comesI hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks
Set them free and I hear themIt's black and white don't try to hide
It's black and white don't try to hide
It's black and white don't try to hide
It's black and white don't try to hideIt's black and white, don't try
It's black and white, don't try
It's black and white don't try to hide
It's black and white don't try to hideAnd I hear them
It's black and white don't try to hide
It's black and white don't try to hide
