How Long Has That Evening Train Been Gone Lyrics - Love Child - Diana Ross & The Supremes

How long has that evening train been gone 

I want to know 

How long has that evening train been gone 

I have a babe that was standing at the station 

Waiting for a train 

I ran to the door with my heart in my hand 

(Heart in my hand) 

And all my future plans 

I've gotta catch him if I can 

Is that express Mr. Station man 

I woke up this mornin' 

With a smile on my face 

Feelin' that the world 

The world was a beautiful place 

How long has that evening train been gone 

I want to know 

How long has that evening train been gone 

On a scrap of paper was the 

Train arriving information 

His room was empty and his closet's bare 

And not a single shirt was hangin' there 

How could the guy just up and leave me 

What did I do that was so displeasing 

Only yesterday he helped me type 

He told me everything 

Everything's gonna be alright 

Oh, he said he loved me and he cried 

Oh yeah, he said he loved me and he cried 

Oh, yes he did now 

There must be an explanation 

Come on and move out the station 

Can't you see that he's taking my world 

And making me a sad sad girl 

That's why I can't let go 

That's why I gotta know 

How long has that evening train been gone 

I want to know how long 

Has the train been gone 

Oh yeah, has that evening train been gone 

Right now 

Can't wait a minute longer 

How long has that evening train been gone 

Right now
