The Boy I Left Behind

(album: Song Bird - 1977)

Ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba

As that train pulls out, I look back
At the tears falling from his eyes
How painful, those goodbyes
Something in his lost expression
Seems to be asking why I go
Funny even I don't know

And I don't know where I'm going to
And I wonder what I'll find
And I think of how things might have been
With the boy I left behind

But I know there are two directions
(Seems too sad to leave)
To each and every railroad track
Does he know that I'm coming back

And I don't know where I'm going to
And I wonder what I'll find
And I think of how things might have been
With the boy I left behind

Ba, ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba

Baby, baby, baby
Coming at you, baby
Whoo-whoo-whoo...
Whoa-whoa-whoa...

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, can't you hear me calling your name
Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo...
Calling after you, after you, after you...
