Hit Me Like a Train Lyrics

I had visions, I had visions of a happy land
And in this happy land, happy land
There is still one unhappy man
Because of all the things he wants
There is always something he can′t have
It's like a siren singing, like a church bell ringing
I can feel you winning, and my head starts spinning
Now I′m back at the beginning

I, I, I seen you lying there
And I, I, I felt a wave come over me
And I, I, I thought I had escaped you
And I stood sitting by the roadside

And it hit me like a train
Hit me like a freight train
When the truth came down on me
Yeah, it hit me like a long slow train

It is written, I know it's written
That all God's children get smitten
And if there′s anyone, anybody
I know that I can fit that description
And if I could turn back the hands of time
Still I wouldn′t know what I'm supposed to change
It′s like a well gone dry, like a kiss goodbye
And as the grip gets tighter, I continue to fight it
Then you strike me with your lightning

I, I, I woke up in a cold sweat
And I, I, I thought I heard you call my name
And I, I, I had to reach out for your fingers
And before I could call the doctor

And it hit me like a train
Hit me like a freight train
When the truth came down on me
Said it hit me like a long slow train
Lord, you hit me like a train
Hit me like a coal train
When your love came down on me, yeah
Said it hit me like a long slow
Lord, I feel it coming down

I, I, I, I, oh
I, I, I, oh, Lord have mercy
I, I, I can't hold out no longer
I was ready to surrender

And it hit me like a train, yeah
Hit me like a freight train
When your love came down on me, yeah
And it hit me like a long slow train
Lord, it hit me like a train
Hit me like a soul train
When your love, when your love came down on me, child
Hit me like a long slow, oh, long

It was a long train
Hit me like a coal train, hit me, child
When your love came down on me

When your love came down on me
Then I knew it was a long train, long, long train
It was a train
Felt like a, felt like a soul train
When your love came down, when your love came down on me
Lord have mercy
Hit me like a, feel it coming, oh, oh, oh, no, no
It′s like a train
Like a soul train
