The train gathers speed by the Wear County Line
I'm coming home to you
I've been far away for a long, lonely time
I'm coming home to you
I left on this train a very long time ago
You didn't even notice I was gone
But we both had some things that we needed to get over
Did you make it too? You're coming into focus
The train gathers speed by the Wear County Line
I'm coming home to you
I've been far away for a long, lonely time
I'm coming home to you
If I look I can see our lovers' bench by the tree
The one where we'd talk the day away
The wood needs some mending, some love and tlc
Will you meet me there? You're coming into focus
The train gathers speed by the Wear County Line
I'm coming home to you
I've been far away for a long, lonely time
I'm coming home to you
There's the old farmhouse where our boys became men
I can still hear them playing now
Someone's fixed the thatch, and the windows gleam again
I'll find you there? You're coming into focus
There's the tiny chapel where my Niall's lilies grow
Together we've been there for loss and joy
We danced down the aisle heel 'fore heel and toe 'fore toe
Will I see you there? You're coming into focus
The train gathers speed by the Wear County Line
I'm coming home to you
I've been far away for a long, lonely time
I'm coming home to you
The train gathers speed, the train gathers speed, the train gathers speed
The train gathers speed, the train gathers speed, the train gathers speed
The train gathers speed by the Wear County Line
I'm coming home to you
