The Sound of the Train

The sound of the train as you left me that day without even looking back It is a sound that will echo always As the train rolled down the track As I walked home in the rain that day I remember the sound that it made It made the same pitta pat sound As my broken heart, as I walked down the lonely street The song that I heard when I got home that day I remember the words quite well But now I wish I could forget It was a song we used to enjoy An oldie from way back when But now that my heart was broken in two "Unforgettable" made me feel blue

Vividly expressed as it jerks the heart strings. Difficult to listen to love songs from an era connected to heart ache. I felt the emotion very strong here.
