Cheryl's Going Home Songtext
von John Otway

The thunder cracks against the night
The dark explodes with a yellow light
The railroad sign is flashing bright
The people stare but I don′t care
My flesh is cold against my bones
And Cheryl's going home
Can′t you hear me shouting through the rain?
Is there a way to stop the train?
I've got some reasons to explain
About the way I was today
The whistle moans and I'm alone
And Cheryl′s going home
Send a roving special down the line
I′m running desperately behind
There's only one thing on my mind
And the rain and tears are in my eyes
The things I have to say will not be known
And Cheryl′s going home
She's going home tonight, okay
I′m running down the train track, lost


Now she's gone away
And Cheryl, baby, I love you
For all the things you′ve ever done for me
And that's true
And I see that look in your eyes
My God, I'm sad now, paralyzed
You′ve gone away and you ain′t gonna stay
And I'm so sad you′ve gone away
And that train, and that train
Is going choo-choo-choo-choo-choo down the track
Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo down the track
And Cheryl is going home
She's going home for the very last time
I′m gonna miss her, yes I am
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Well, I'm all on my own in my bed
Thinking of Cheryl, baby, that′s all that I have
Oh, Cheryl ain't going home
Oh, Cheryl ain't going home tonight
(What do you do when your woman′s going away?)
Where have all you been?
I′m trying it all, baby
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Cheryl ain't going home
Cheryl, baby, baby, going home
Tonight, tonight, tonight
The thunder cracks against the night
The dark explodes with a yellow light
The railroad sign is flashing bright
The people stare but I don′t care
My flesh is cold against my bones
And Cheryl's going home
