Lyrics

There's a cold wind blowing Down the union pacific line I've been saving up all my pay Out here on western time I'm watching the falling rain As I dream of you From the slats of a moving train In my solitude Are you alone my one true love Are you safe from harm Or are you down in that wretched town In a stranger's arms In a stranger's arms The moon pirouettes in night's decline And the rains won't cease Now I'm traveling through central time Where the tracks run east Two runaways sitting in the dark Sharing a loaf of bread While a sparrow mends their coats With a silver thread Are you alone my one true love Are you safe from harm Or are you down in that wretched town In a stranger's arms In a stranger's arms Two pigeons on a neon sign Where the taxis wait I'm finally back here on eastern time I hope it's not too late The wind and the rain go browsing Down the avenue And through the rows of city housing As I dream of you Are you alone my one true love Are you safe from harm Or are you down in that wretched town In a stranger's arms In a stranger's arms
