Sleeper Train

from We'll Meet Again by Ditte Elly

/

lyrics

For answers, for hope, I loosen the rope
Through cannons and guns, for mothers and sons
I put you on the sleeper train
Though I couldn't help but feel a sudden shame
I hadn't held you closer

Caught you again, longing for fortune and fame
Well, what is a man that can't hold a word to his name?
The road is calling you, I see in your face
Now they tell me heaven gave you its grace
And you must give your love away!

Give it to a poorer man, who suffers and stands
He's nothing to give in return, you've so much to learn
So you'll take part of me before you rest
Though kings have ruled a kingdom for less

For answers, for hope, I loosen the rope
Through cannons and guns, for mothers and sons
I put you on the sleeper train
Though I couldn't help but feel a sudden shame
I hadn't held you closer
