Stood along this lonely track
Watching the trains speed along
Weep, oh, willow weep
Let me hear your song

So that my soul will be filled with joy
My heart and I, it alone knows the hex I bear, so I asked
How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?
Tell me, sister, oh, how long

Listen to me as I try my best not to sigh
I still feel the tears on my face
I'm hated by you, and you're loved by me
Though I can't take it, I try not to break it

My heart and I, it alone knows the hex I bear, so I asked
How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?
Oh, tell me now, how long

As I try my best not to sigh
I still feel the tears on my face
I'm hated by you and you're loved by me
Though I can't take it, I try not to break it
My heart and I
