Down by the railway line He's sitting in his old grey coats And all the people come to ask him questions over again He gave away his house and clothes And all the money that he had The day the last train ran Through our town Some think he's very wise But I know otherwise That man's a fool As he's forgotten love He's always cold though the sun might shine Sits in the same place if it's grey or fine Sits where he lost his girl to the railway line Didn't love and he couldn't give Now he seeks his peace inside Still he wonders why He feels so cold Some think he's very wise But I know otherwise That man's a fool As he's forgotten love And in the town where there once were trains The people all hurry, to and fro They think somehow this man can make them happy again They look for answers in his eyes They look for answers in the way he sighs And think that sorrow makes you very wise Some think he's very wise But I know otherwise That man's a fool As he's forgotten love Forgotten love Forgotten love
