Waiting For A Train

Hugh Laurie

Transposer:

All around the water tank waiting for a train A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain I walked up to a brakeman just to give him a line of talk He said if you’ve got money I’ll see that you don’t walk Well I haven’t got a nickel not a penny can I show He said get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door Well he put me off in Texas a place I dearly love The wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars above Nobody seems to want me nor to lend me a helping hand I’m on my way from Frisco heading back to Dixie Land My pocketbook is empty my heart is willed with pain I’m a thousand miles away from home just waiting for a train

La chanson évoque un voyageur qui attend un train, loin de chez lui, sous la pluie. Il se trouve dans une situation désespérée, sans argent et sans assistance, cherchant désespérément une issue pour retourner chez lui dans le Sud. L'homme fait face à l'indifférence des autres et se sent complètement perdu, errant entre l'espoir et la douleur de l'éloignement. Au milieu des vastes espaces du Texas, il ressent la solitude et la difficulté de sa condition, ce qui renforce son désir de retrouver son foyer.
