[Verse] Mountains draped in winter's white, Snow crunchin' neath my boots at night, Fireplace flickers in this old cabin, Livin’ alone, my mountain haven. [Verse 2] Choppin' wood with these weathered hands, Only me in these northern lands, Days grow shorter, nights are long, Whisperin' winds hum a lonesome song. [Chorus] I’m waitin’ for the next train to come, Miles away from everyone, In the silence, hear my heart hum, Pray that the train's not long. [Verse 3] Christmas day, just around the bend, Missin' kinfolk and every friend, Tree's adorned, but it feels so bare, Yearnin' for love’s warm stare. [Verse 4] Tracks buried under a glitterin’ frost, Hopes and dreams, will they be lost? Snowflakes fall, each a silent prayer, Yearn for those I can't hold near. [Chorus] I’m waitin’ for the next train to come, Miles away from everyone, In the silence, hear my heart hum, Pray that the train's not long.
