The Supremes - How Long Has That Evening Train Been Gone lyrics

rate me

(Frank Wilson/Pam Sawyer)

How long has that evening train been gone

I wanna know

How long has that evening train been gone

I have a babe that was standing at the station

Waiting for a train

I ran to the door with my heart in my hand

(Heart in my hand)

And all my future plans

I've gotta catch him if I can

Is that express Mr. Station man

I woke up this mornin'

With a smile on my face

Feelin' that the world

The world was a beautiful place

How long has that evening train been gone

I want to know

How long has that evening train been gone

On a scrap of paper was the

Train arriving information

His room was empty and his closet's bare

And not a single shirt was hangin' there

How could the guy just up and leave me

What did I do that was so displeasing

Only yesterday he helped me type

He told me everything

Everything's gonna be alright

Oh, he said he loved me and he cried

Oh yeah, he said he loved me and he cried

Oh, yes he did now

There must be an explanation

Come on and move out the station

Can't you see that he's taking my world

And making me a sad sad girl

That's why I can't let go

That's why I gotta know

How long has that evening train been gone

I wanna know how long

Has the train been gone

Oh yeah, has that evening train been gone

Right now

Can't wait a minute longer

How long has that evening train been gone

Right now
