from the songs album One Long Year
I have visions, i have visions of a happy land
And in this happy land, happy land
There is still one unhappy man
Because of all the things he wants
There is always something he can't have
It's like a siren singing, like a church bell ringing
I can feel you winning, and my head starts spinning
Now i'm back at the beginning
I, i, i see you lying there and
I, i felt a wave come over me and
I, i, i thought i had escaped you
As i sat down by the roadside
And it hit me like a train
Hit me like a freight train
When the truth came down on me
It hit me like a long, slow train
It is written, i know it's written
All god's children get smitten
And if there's anyone, anybody
I know the [lord] can fit that description
And if i could turn back the hands of time
Still i wouldn't know what i'm supposed to change
It's like a well gone dry, like a kiss goodbye
As the grip gets tighter, i continue to fight it
Then you strike me with your lightning
I, i, i woke up in a cold sweat and
I, i thought i heard you call my name and
I, i, i had to reach out for your fingers
And before i could call the doctor
You hit me like a train
Hit me like a freight train
When the truth came down on me
Swear you hit me like a long, slow train
Lord you hit me like a train
Hit me like a coal train
When your love came down on me yeah
Say hit me like a long, slow
Lord i feel it coming down and
I, i, i, i, oooh
I, i, i, oh lord have mercy [on me]
I can't hold out no longer
I was ready to surrender
And it hit me like a train yeah
Hit me like a freight train
When your love came down on me yeah
And it me like a long, slow train
Lord you hit me like a train
Hit me like a soul train
When your love, when your love came down on me child
Hit me like a long slow [how long was it] long train
Hit me like a coal train?
