Trains of No Return

Yehh… we need the rain
Yehh… to wash the trains
Endless nights
Tortured days
Trains of no return

To God I call, answer me
I cry every night, answer me
Give us rain and dew, answer me
Ho… answer me

Don’t let them grow again
Oh… no not again
Don’t let them roll again
The trains of no return

Yehh… we need the rain
Yehh… to wash the trains
Endless nights
Tortured days
Trains of no return

To God I call, answer me, answer me, answer me

Their voices cried out, answer us
Lights burned, answer us
Eternal One of Israel, answer us
He will not fail us

All the light, all the darkness
Which more than anything, saw how
The law of God rules
They also plead:

Yehh… we need the rain
Yehh… to wash the trains
Endless nights
Tortured days
Trains of no return

Don’t let them grow again
Don’t let them burn again
Don’t let them roll again
The trains of no return

Don’t let them grow again
Don’t let them burn again
Don’t let them roll again
The trains of no return
Yehh… we need the rain

Don’t let them grow again
Don’t let them burn again
Don’t let them roll again
The trains of no return
Yehh… we need the rain
Don’t let them grow again
Don’t let them burn again
Don’t let them roll again
The trains of no return
Yehh… we need the rain<br
