There’s a cold wind blowing
Down the Union Pacific Line
I’ve been saving up all my pay
Out here on Western Time
I’m watching the falling rain
As I dream of you
From the slats of a moving train
In my solitude
Are you alone my one true love?
Are you safe from harm?
Or are you down in that wretched town
In a stranger’s arms?
In a stranger’s arms
The moon pirouettes in night’s decline
And the rains won’t cease
Now I’m traveling through Central Time
Where the tracks run east
Two runaways, sitting in the dark
Sharing a loaf of bread
While a sparrow mends their coats
With a silver thread
Are you alone my one true love?
Are you safe from harm?
Or are you down in that wretched town
In a stranger’s arms?
In a stranger’s arms
Two pigeons on a neon sign
Where the taxis wait
I’m finally back here on Eastern Time
I hope it’s not too late
The wind and the rain go browsing
Down the avenue
And through the rows of public housing
As I dream of you
Are you alone my one true love?
Are you safe from harm?
Or are you down in that wretched town
In a stranger’s arms?
In a stranger’s arms
