There are places to go where the cold north wind blows

Mountain's tall and the seashore have its charms
But the best place for me darling where I want to be

Is anywhere just inside your arms

Anywhere just inside your arms to be with you is where I want to be

Just as long as you're there then darling I won't care anywhere just inside your arms

Another loenly day is almost gone the sun's going down again and you're still not home

The last of the trains have all come in but I'll come back tomorrow and wait again

I know the conductor he thinks I'm losing my mind
Cause I come here and wait so many times

But me and the ticketman are the best of friends

So I'll come back tomorrow when the trains come in

[ guitar ]

Well I finally got the one I thought I wanted I no longer have to slip around on you

Cause today the postman brought my freedom

But I wonder now was it all worth losing you
Yes I wonder how my leaving will affect you

After all the heartaches we've been through

But something tells me that someday I may be sorry

And I wonder now was it all worth losing you

I watch it's three a.m. I know she's waitin' up again

On the road I'm wonderin' what I'm gonna say

Funny how the light's not turnin' maybe this time she'll be sleepin'
In the drive I'm wonderin' if she's okay

The house looks dark to me as I fumble for the key

Now inside an empty chair is all I see

In the kitchen on the table there's a letter and Lord I'm shakin'
