Down the street, a baby just cried
When he woke up all alone
A train's leavin' town, oh that lonesome sound
It's chilling me right to the bone
A song is playing, I can barely hear
About a love that's gone wrong
The freezing rain on my window pane
Listen, they're playing my song
Taps being played by a soldier's grave
So sad it torments your soul
The sound to the road, north wind moan
The night, it's dark and cold, ah
Somewhere, a siren cuts through the night
It sounds like the whole world's gone wrong
Thunder just warned but it's coming a storm
Listen, they're playing my song
And listen, they're playing my song
