Trains and Boats and Planes - Dionne Warwick Feat. Elton John & Gladys Knight & Stevie Wonder

Trains and boats and planes are passing by They mean a trip to Paris or Rome To someone else, but not for me The trains and the boats and planes Took you away, away from me We were so in love and high above We had a star to wish upon, wish And dreams come true, but not for me The trains and the boats and planes Took you away, away from me You are from another part of the world You had to go back a while and then You said you soon would return again I'm waiting here like I promised to I'm waiting here, but where are you? Trains and boats and planes took you a way But every time I see them, I pray And if my prayer can cross the sea The trains and the boats and planes Will bring you back, back home to me

Mama's gone and got herself a new man It's a shame He's the same Mama please please, stop pretending This time, it won't end in tears I find myself, with a new daddy My mama needs love you see Guess she don't wanna be lonely And nobody's keeping score I don't say hi to those guys no more Said mama can't you feel me Holding my breath as they knock, knock, knock on our door You're just taking your ass to the top of that building Throwing yourself under cars and trains Taking the pill that you know will kill you Under the wheels The same, the same' Johnny's gone and got himself a new man He gets laid, every day Johnny please please, stop pretending This time, may just end in tears Take care of yourself Because you won't find 'daddy' When you're popping those pills Oh Johnny, is the danger just part of the thrill? And nobody's keeping score Johnny those guys that you shake it for I said 'Johnny can't you hear them Saying mama knows best as they knock, knock Knock on your door You're just taking your ass to the top of that building Throwing yourself under cars and trains Taking the pill that you know will kill you Under the wheels, the same, the same Taking your ass to the top of that building Throwing yourself under cars and trains Taking the pill that you know will kill you Under the wheels, wheels, wheels Pretty girl, little girl, what were you thinking Just 18 at the time You were a mother and child, at the same time You were a mother and child So young and fucked up baby Always higher than a child should see' Forgive me To the top of that building Under cars and trains Taking the pill that you know will kill you Under the wheels, wheels, wheels Mama don't you let him stay From bastard to loser, hurt you, used you in every way Mama, don't you let him stay, please Don't let him stay I said Jesus, Mary, and the Saints above, Won't you show him love?

City streets passin' by Underneath stormy skies Neon signs in the night Red and blue city lights Cargo trains rolling by Once again someone cries Trains and winter rains No going back, no going home Trains across the plains And in the sky, a star alone Every time; it's the same One more night, one more train Everywhere; empty roads Where they go, no-one knows Trains and winter rains No going back, no going home Trains across the plains And in the sky, a star alone Trains and winter rains No going back, no going home Trains across the plains And in the sky, a star alone Trains and winter rains No going back, no going home Trains across the plains And in the sky, a star alone Trains and winter rains No going back, no going home Trains across the plains And in the sky, a star alone

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one Drying in the color of the evening sun Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away But something in our minds will always stay Perhaps this final act was meant To clinch a lifetime's argument That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could For all those born beneath an angry star Lest we forget how fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star Like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are How fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star Like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are How fragile we are How fragile we are How fragile we are

Things are kind of hazy And my head's all cloudy inside Now I've heard talks of angels Never thought I'd have one to call mine 'Cause you are Just too good to be true And I know This is not some kind of mirage With you Am I dreaming? Am I just imagining that you're here in my mind Am I dreaming? Teach me to see if it's real 'Cause my mind can't decide Will this last one Or do I have you for a lifetime They that it's forever And that is not an illusion to my eyes And I, hope That you don't run out and disappear My love, I pray That it's not a hoax and it's real Am I dreaming? Am I just imagining that you're here in my mind Am I dreaming? Teach me to see if it's real 'Cause my mind can't decide Am I dreaming? Am I just imagining that you're here in my mind Am I dreaming? Teach me to see if it's real 'Cause my mind can't decide
