I was alone down in that station
I saw her there, what a wild sensation
On that platform waiting for a train
All my desires screaming one refrain
Lord, I knew, yes I knew
I couldn't let her go

Well I looked at her, she looked at me
From the moment our eyes met we both could see
That our love could rage on forever
No time to be slow, quick!
Time to be clever
I knew, yes I knew
I couldn't let her go

And the train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
And I knew, yes I knew
I couldn't let her go

We moved on into the night
Never said a word both knew that it was right
I told her everything I could about my life
She was so memorizing filled me with the light of love
And I knew, yes I knew
I couldn't let her go, no, no

And the train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
And I knew, yes I knew
I couldn't let her go

I must have fallen asleep in her arms
So sweet and warm, no reason for alarm
I awoke, with a jolt
As the train pulled in and the conductor spoke
I was alone, yea, she was gone
How could I let her go?
I was alone, yea, she was gone
How could I let her go?

How could I let her go?

Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
All night, all night, all night, all night, all night
