Train In Vain (Stand By Me) Lyrics

(Mick Jones)

Say you stand by your man
Tell me something I don't understand
You said you love me and that's a fact
Then you left me, said you felt trapped

Well some things you can explain away
But my heart aches me still this day

CHORUS
You can stand by me
You're not alone
You can stand by me
No way

Roll the dice
And stay real close
I remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I won't be happy without you around

So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
There is only one thing that I can say

CHORUS

You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me

You can stand by me
You're not alone

Now I got a job
But it don't pay
I need new clothes
I need some today
But without all these things I can do
Without your love I won't make it through

But you don't understand my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can do

CHORUS

You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me

You can stand by me
You can stand by me
You're not alone
You can stand by me
Always
You can stand by me
You're not alone
You can stand by me
Always
