Late Train To Heaven Lyrics - Waterboys

I was talking to John 

He was dressed all in black 

He was learning, he said 

To never look back 

Bells in his ears 

He turned and disappeared 

But I've known him for years 

Where'd he go? 

A head full of snow 

On the late train to heaven

Augustus my friend 

Dressed in velvet and scarf 

He's purging himself 

He's refusing to laugh 

Pale as the moon 

His words fill the room 

He'll be travelling soon 

Where's he bound? 

Higher ground 

On the late train to heaven 

Photos 

I whispered to you now 

But I didn't mean a word 

It was just a small madness 

Pretend you never heard 

Pretend you're here with Larry 

Pretend you're here with Lee 

Pretend you're with anyone but me 

I didn't come with you, I'm gone 

And my seat's waiting on 

The late train 

Forever on the late 

The late train 

I'm ready for the late 

The late train to heaven
