Train Song

Tom Waits

Transposer:

Well I broke down in East Saint Louis On the Kansas City line and I drunk up all my money that I borrowed every time and I fell down at the derby and now the night's black as a crow It was a train that took me away from here but a train can't bring me home         What made my dreams so hollow I was standing there at the depot with a steeple full of swallows that could never ring the bell and I come ten thousand miles away with not one thing to show well it was a train that took me away from here but a train can't bring me home         I remember when I left without bothering to pack you know I up and left with nothin' but the clothes I had on my back now I'm sorry for what I've done and I'm out here on my own well it was a train that took me away from here but a train can't bring me home         it must've been a train that took me away from here but a train can't bring me ... can't bring me home

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui se retrouve coincé à East Saint Louis, réfléchissant à ses choix de vie et ses rêves déchus. Il évoque le regret d'être parti sans rien emporter, si ce n'est ses vêtements. Malgré ses longs voyages en train, il réalise que, quel que soit l'endroit où il va, il ne peut pas retrouver un chez-soi, un sentiment de paix ou de bonheur. Les images de solitude et de désespoir sont présentes tout au long des paroles, soulignant un sentiment de perte et d'errance.
