a long dark train is slowly winding
through the nightland's sad refrain
a diamond rain is gently falling
down on this old two lane
you were mine all of the time
night and day then you went away
now i'm lost out on these high plains
with a memory of you
soft and naked close beside me
then disappearing out of view
you were mine all of the time
night and day every way
and you were mine
now i'm left alone to wonder
could you come back, i suppose
and i will love you for the reasons
that these night winds only know
