It's so long since I sang songs to you I forget all the words I once knew I could look back But I can't waste the time Did it matter They sometimes didn't rhyme It's so long since I sang songs for you It's so long since you smile just for me Now your smile's just an old use to be Does it matter That I can take the time Would you rather I write you one more line Can my songs once again be for you Claudie made a fool out of me Made me find another place to be I've been living alone In a house that wasn't my home With Claudie is the place I want to be When I left did you think of me crying Did you care that I felt I was dying I pretended That I don't give a damn All along I've know what I really am I'm a fool little Claudie just for you Claudie made a fool out of me Made me find another place to be I've been living alone In a house that wasn't my home With Claudie is the place I want to be

I got an invitation from a girl I used to know back home It was an invitation asking me to telephone She said, it's getting lonely here And I've been gone for close a year I took the first flight out to meet the girl I used to know back home She met me off the flight, a million dollars in her long red gown With a man in a black hat just to drive us back to town Now the faces all look the same And all the places have the same old names But in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone What can I say to you, what can I say to you? Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home It took another year before I started getting itchy toes And then I had to leave, but that's the way the story goes Well I reckon if she'd made me stay I'd never live to see another day I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone What can I say to you, what can I say to you? I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home Back home, I left the girl back home I left the girl back home I left the girl back home

Railroad, she left me standing on the line Railroad, she's really leaving me this time Leaving on the midnight train Leaving, never gonna come back again I'm living alone, a place of my own A bed, a chair and one back door Something went wrong with the words to my song And now she ain't around no more Something she said as she lay on my bed Six or seven hours ago I guess I was wrong I really didn't think she would go Railroad, she left me standing on the line Railroad, she's really leaving me this time Leaving on the midnight train Leaving, never gonna come back again Her face was always smiling, guess she was always laughing at me I said her face was always smiling, guess she was always laughing at me If I'd realised I'd be less surprised to find That she was laughing at me
