Trains and boats and planes are passing by

They mean a trip to Paris or Rome

To someone else but not for me

The trains and 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 boats and planes

Took you away, away from me



You are from another part of the world

You had to go back a while and then

You said you soon would return again

I'm waiting here like I promised to

I'm waiting here but where are you?



Trains and boats and planes took you a way

But every time I see them I pray

And if my prayers can cross the sea

The trains and the boats and planes

Will bring you back, back home to me
