People get ready, there's a train comin'
You don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket you just thank the lord
People get ready, there's a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board them
There's hope for all among those loved the most
There ain't no ro
Fade to Blue
I think I know the way, the story's gonna end
It's getting to the part I hate, when heartache closes in.
The stage is set, It's time for me to leave
Cause I don't wanna see the final scene
Fade to blue
We didn't make it through
Let the curtain fall
And fade to blue
We played the part of lovers
Knew every line by heart
But sometimes love just can't erase
What's written in the stars
So before the bitter words come crashing down
Let's leave what's left, and the lights go out
And fade to blue
We didn't make it through
There won't be a curtain call
Just fade to blue
Almost happy endings have no way of coming true
Once the feelings starts to fade to blue
We didn't make it through
So let the curtain fall
Just fade to blue
And fade to blue
