Gill Vince - Jenny Dreamed Of Trains lyrics

When Jenny was a little girl she only dreamed of trains

She never played with dolls or lacy kinds of things

Jenny counted boxcars instead of countin' sheep

She could go anywhere when she went to sleep

All she ever talked about was gettin' on to ride

She was livin' in another time you could see it in her eyes

Everyday after school she'd head down to the tracks

Waitin' for the train that was never comin' back

Jenny dreamed of trains

When the nighttime came

Nobody knew how she made it come true

Jenny dreamed of trains

The depot's been boarded up, the rails have turned to rush

There hasn't been a train through here since the mill went bust

No one believed her when she said she heard the train

She was just a little girl actin' kinda strange

Jenny dreamed of trains

When the nighttime came

Nobody knew how she made it come true

Jenny dreamed of trains

Jenny laid a penny on the track one day

In God we trust she walked away

The very next mornin' all that she could find

Was a little piece of copper squashed flatter than a dime

Jenny dreamed of trains

When the nighttime came

Nobody knew how she made it come true

Jenny dreamed of trains

Nobody knew how she made it come true

Jenny dreamed of trains
