Waiting for the train to come
  I keep a'waiting for the train to come
  Dreamin' of the river and the rising sun
  I keep thinkin' 'bout the world to come
  My life packed up in a suitcase
  Old man staring from a doorway
  My hope tarries in the distance
  Love comes on the wheels of my deliverance
  
  Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken
  Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow
  
  Waitin' for the train to come
  I keep waitin' for the train to come
  Keepin' my appointment with the one who lives
  In the heart of everything that is
  
  All night sleepin' in a station
  My God, it's hard not to be impatient
  I watch through the windows of forgiveness
  I cry but my word's my only witness
  
  Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken
  Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow
  Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken
  Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow
  
  Sometimes I feel I can't go on, I can't go on
  I get so tired, all passion's gone
  My heart, my head, my arms, my legs, I get so tired
  Without the strength to crawl away
  Then something breaks inside my soul, My strength is gone
  That spirit's finally taking hold
  My ears can hear, my eyes can see
  Those clouds of joy still cover me, cover me, cover me
  
  Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken
  Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow
  Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is the river unbroken
  Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow
  
  Oh-oh-oooh-oh where is, where is the river unbroken
  Oh-oh-oooh-oh when will the whistle blow
  
  Fade:
  
  Waiting for the train to come
  I keep waiting for the train to come...
