lyrics

Oh honey babe, where you going to?
Oh honey babe, can I go there with you?
I’m so restless in this bed, can’t raise my head
Doctor says one more shot is bound to kill me dead

Oh honey babe won’t you draw the blinds
I see something I never thought I’d find
We’re heading to the realm of undying love
Just beyond the clouds, right up above

We’re leaving for the kingdom, no we won’t be back
Soon as we’re gone they’re pulling up the track
The brakeman he don’t wait, so don’t be late
Train leaves the station quarter to eight

When we reach that land we will understand
We’ll press through the crowd to touch the savior’s hand
And when we reach the mountain what shall we find?
Likely we’ll see that we have been blind

Every muttered curse is a world reversed
Every twisted cry is an ancient lie
Every kingdom come is another kingdom lost
Don’t get me wrong, I’d gladly pay the cost

Oh honey babe, where you going to?
Oh honey babe, can I go there with you?
We’re leaving for the kingdom, no we won’t be back
Soon as we’re gone they’re pulling up the track
