Marianne Faithfull - It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry Lyrics


Marianne Faithfull Lyrics

It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry Lyrics
Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby,
Can't buy a thrill.
Well, I've been up all night,
Leanin' on the window sill.
Well, if I die
On top of the hill
And if I don't make it,
You know my baby will.

Don't the moon look good, mama,
Shinin' through the trees?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama,
Flagging down the "double e"?
Don't the sun look good

Going down over the sea?
But don't my gal look fine
When she's comin' after me?

Well, the wintertime is coming,
The windows are filled with frost.
I went to tell everybody,
But I could not get across.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby,
I don't wanna be your boss.
Don't say I never wanted you
When your train gets lost.
