Trains and boats and planes are passing by

They mean a trip to Paris or Rome

For someone else but not for me

The trains and the boats and planes took you away

Away 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 away

Away from me

You are in another part of the world

You had to go

You said you'd try to return again

I'm waiting here like I promised you

I'm waiting here but where are you?

Trains and boats and planes took you away

But every time I see them I pray

And if my prayer can cross the sea

The trains and the boats and planes will bring you home

Back home to me
