Trains and boats and planes are passing by. They mean a trip to Paris or Rome For some - one else, but not for me. The trains and the boats and planes Took you a - way, a - way from me. We were so in love, and high above We had a star to wish upon wish And dreams come true, but not for me The trains and the boats and planes Took you a - way, a - way from me. You are from another part of the world, You had to go back a while and then You said you soon would return again. I'm waiting here like I promised to. I'm waiting here but where are you? Trains and boats and planes took you a-way, But ev' ry time I see them I pray And if my prayer can cross the sea, The trains and the boats and planes Will bring you back, back home to me. (Instrumental Coda - 3 Lines of Verse) The trains and the boats and planes Will bring you back, back home to me.
