R,,,O,,,D,,,(Rails of Destiny)

Looking At His Watch,,,
The Conductor Yelled "All Aboard",,,
The Engine Roared,,,
And From The Smokestack,,,
Black Smoke And Cinders Poured,,,
Then As The Engine Took Hold,,,
The Train Bolted Forward,,,
And We Were On Our Way,,,

We Both Boarded The Train,,,
On The Platform,,,At The Station,,,
And For A While,,,
You Sat And Talked To Me,,,
But Sadly The Rails,,,
Have Taken You Far From Me,,,
And Down The Rails of Destiny,,,

As You Turned To Walk Away,,,
I Really Hate To See You Go,,,
Now I Look For The Words To Say,,,
And How Was I To Know,,,
And As The Tears Fell,,,On That Day,,,
You Took A Piece Of My Heart Away,,,With You,,,
Down These Rails ,,,To Another Destiny,,,
And My Skies Just Went To Grey,,,From Blue,,,

I Thought It Was Just Yesterday,,,
But It Was So Long Ago,,,
When First,,,I Saw You Standing There,,,
On The Platform,,,Waiting,,,
On The Train,,,To Board,,,
And You Were Just So Beautiful,,,
As A Young Man's Fancy,,,Took Flight,,,
And Now Your Gone,,,You Slipped Away,,,
Down These Rails,,,Somewhere In The Night,,,
On A Train Bound For Destiny,,,
Somewhere Down These Rails,,,
And Far Away From Me,,,

And On This Train,,,,We Did Ride,,,
My Favorite Lady,,,By My Side,,,,
Through The Wind,,,And The Rain,,,
Through The Cities,,,And The Countryside,,,
And For A While,,,We Shared A View,,,
Out Of This Window,,,
On A Bench Made For Two,,,

Then We Stopped At The Station,,,
For Layovers,,,And For Repairs,,,
But When The Journey Started Again,,,
You Were No Longer There,,,
And I Could Still Smell Your Perfume,,,
Lingering In The Air,,,
I Got Up To Look,,,
But You Were No Where To Be Found,,,
Then The Conductor Told Me,,,
That You Caught A Train,,,Southbound,,,
And All Of A Sudden,,,This Seat Made For Two,,,
Became A Window,,,With A Lonely View,,,
And I Just Wish,,,That These Rails,,,
Would Once Again,,,Lead Me Back To You,,,

We Both Boarded The Train,,,At The Station,,,
And For A While,,,We Rode Side By Side,,,
And For A While,,,We Did Ride,,,
Enjoying The View,,,Just You And I,,,
Sadly These Rails,,,Have Taken You From Me,,,
And Down The Tracks,,,To A Different Destiny,,,
And For Me,,,This Ride Continues On,,,
Never Knowing,,,What The Future Holds For me,,,
Or Where These Rails Will End,,,
But Until That Day,,,To God I Pray,,,
These Rails Will Lead Me,,,Once Again
Back To You,,,One Day,,,

The Conductor Yelled,,,"All Aboard"
And We Were On Our Way,,,
Just You And Me,,,
Down The Rails Of Destiny,,,
