You were leaving
On a rainy day in may
Tears like the rapids of a river
Hit the ground, what more could I say
You know I tried to love you tried to hear you
When you said you were goin' away
Now your shakin' like a tree in the middle of a storm
Standin’ on it's final day
It’s like wine and whiskey
Tequila on a belly full of gin
It's knowin’ you ain't gonna miss me
Oh when your train comes in
Oh honey
When you find a place that you can call home
Will you work through your troubles in the winter
Or when the wind blows cold will you roam
I know someday will I see you
Standin' like a house built of stone
Cryin' tears of joy for the road that you wandered
All alone
It’s like wine and whiskey
Tequila on a belly full of gin
It's knowin’ you ain't gonna miss me
Oh when your train comes in
Oh you know I wish you well
I'm prayin’ every night 'til the mornin' bell
Everyday I see your face
The salt on your skin I still taste
It’s like wine and whiskey
Tequila on a belly full of gin
It's knowin’ you ain't gonna miss me
Oh when your train comes in

The musicianship--it is ALIVE, PULSING and joyous, sometimes quietly, sometimes raucously, always with their hearts in it. Among all the gems, Old Paint's banjo is one of the most beautiful arrangements ever, and that Cocaine Blues really swings--great fiddling, Josh! lenapple
