words and music by Michael Seibt
D Hm F#m7
When my train rolled in one day
D Hm F#m7
It was the end of a long way
G G Em
It felt like coming home
G G A
Even 'though everything was unknown
Refrain
D F# G G A
Slow train, I went away without a word
D F# G G A7
Slow train, one way, I never will return
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/blue_sky/slow_train_crd.html ]
I'd started five days ago
From a place I better wouldn't know
I left all that I had got behind
For the luck that I hoped to find
Refrain
Somewhere soft green hills were passing by
Above a grey and milky sky
I passed stations no one seemed to need
While the wheels grumbled 'neath my feed
Refrain
Crossing the mountains I fell asleep
I don't know how long I'd counted the sheeps
I spent the minutes, hours and miles
By dreaming of the promissed better times
Refrain
When I left the station stepping out on the place
A bright sun was shining in my face
And all the clouds that had occupied my brain
Seemed to be washed away by a hard rain
Refrain
one way, I never will return
one way, I never will return
