Beacon Street Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

Gonna wake up crazy to the cry of the trains on Beacon Street 

So far from home, so far from love, so far from a friend in need 

And all I need is a heart to hold and a good night's sleep 

And all I have is the cry of the trains 

As they bid farewell on Beacon Street 

And here I am again, I'm in the company of strangers 

It's a cold winter wind that sings a song 

You say your love is lost, I'm not the kind who lingers on 

So it's farewell to your heart 

'Cause when the love is gone, it's gone 

I never did feel lonely till I looked in the mirror and all I could see 

Was a little bit of you in the corner of an eye in need of a good night's sleep 

And all I need is to close my eyes to find my dreams 

And all I had was the cry of the trains 

As we bid farewell on Beacon Street 

And here I am again, I'm in the company of strangers 

It's a cold winter wind that sings a song 

You say your love is lost, I'm not the kind who lingers on 

So it's farewell to your heart 

'Cause when the love is gone, it's gone
