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
ย
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
ย
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
ย
She's going home tonight, okay
Running down the train track lost
Now she's gone away
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, paralysed
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
It's going choo-choo-choo-choo-choo down the track
Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo down the track
ย
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
When I'm all on my own in my bed
Thinking of Cheryl
Oh, Cheryl is going home
Ooh, Cheryl is going home tonight
(One day is yours, when you want it, darling, wait)
Wait for you, baby, baby, all day
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Cheryl is 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
