GUEST,Jeremiah McCaw Lyr Req: Never Did Like That Train (M McLauchlan) (4) Lyr Req: Never Did Like That Train 02 May 09


There seems to be a stunning lack of access to Murray McLauchlan's lyrics on the 'net. Anybody help with this one?

Here's what I have so far (Murray's diction isn't the clearest on the videos) - upper case are the words I'm certain I have wrong:


Never Did Like That Train
Murray McLauchlan

I remember those young and those restless years
Time would crawl instead of fly
I would lay awake alone in A WHISTLE-DROPPIN' TONE
As that night-time train rolled by

chorus:
I never did like that train
Never did like that train
I could not sleep till it was long gone away
No, I never did like that train

I remember MY REST WAS DEEP DOWN in my breast
When I heard that silent song
Said "Forget your family
Come along, come along, come along".

Well, maybe you felt that wanderlust
In the darkness at the edge of the day
I never forgot that night train's call
I remember like it was yesterday


Got a gig in an actual railway station coffee house next week, and I want to have this available for the inevitable moment when a freight pulls through the station! :-)
