Box Tops, The - Trains & Boats & Planes Lyrics






Trains and boats and planes
Are passing by
They mean a trip
To Paris or Rome
For someone else
But not for me
The trains and the 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 the boats and planes
Took you away, away from me

You are from another part of the world
You had to go back home, but then
You said you would return again
I waited here like I promised to
I am waiting here but where are you

Trains and boats and planes
Took you away
But every time I see them I pray
And if my pray
Can cross the sea
The trains and the boats and planes
Will bring you back
Back home to me...

Uouuuuuuuu
Mmmmmmhmmmmhmhhmmhmhmmm

The trains and the boats and planes
Will bring you back,
Back home to me...

The trains and the boats
The trains and the boats and planes...
La-la-la-la-la...
The trains and the boats and planes...

    I have to say my parents owned a copy of the same recording of sound effects used at the beginning of this song on LP when I was a kid. And they all come from the same record.
