I’m wasting away
For I am not strong
I would call it shame
If I had any at all
I was born a towering soldier
But I lost some height in the fall
And i’ll be catching my train home
I’ll be catching my train home
I was born a towering soldier
But I lost some height in the fall
And i’ll be catching my train home
I stood a top a tall hill
And looked down at the sea
There was a sudden gust of wind
It brought me to my knees
So I sing a humble tune
I don’t beg no I don’t plead
And i’ll be catching my train home
I’ll be catching my train home
I was born a towering soldier
But I lost some height in the fall
And i’ll be catching my train home
