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 the doorway
My hope tarries in the distance
Love comes on the wheels of my deliverance

Oh, oh, ooh, oh, where is the river unbroken?
Oh, oh, ooh, 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
Dear God, it's hard not to be impatient
I watch through the windows of forgiveness
I cry and my word's my only witness

Oh, oh, ooh, oh, where is the river unbroken?
Oh, oh, ooh, oh, when will the whistle blow?
Oh, oh, ooh, oh, where is the river unbroken?
Oh, oh, ooh, oh, when will the whistle blow?

Sometimes I feel I can't go on
I get so tired, all passion's gone
My head, my heart, my arms, my legs
Well, I've got strength to crawl away

Then something breaks inside my soul
That spirit's finally taking hold
Oh, my ears can hear, my eyes can see
Those clouds [Incomprehensible]

Tell me, where is the river unbroken?
Oh, oh, ooh, oh, where is the river unbroken?
Oh, oh, ooh, oh, when will the whistle blow?
Oh, oh, ooh, oh, where is the river unbroken?
Oh, oh, ooh, oh, when will the whistle blow?

I'm waiting for the train, I'm ready for the train
I keep waiting for the train to come
Singin', oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, oh
