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 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 home 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 away,
But ev'ry time I see them I pray
And if my prayer can cross the sea,
The trains and the boats and planes
Will bring you back, back home to me.

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