Fast Train by Van Morrison

Transcribed from a live performance on february 26, 2000 at the barbican in york, england. the first performance of this new song.

When you been on a fast train
And it's goin' off the rails
And you can't come back together again
You just start breakin' down
In the pourin' rain
Cause you been on a fast train

When your love has gone away
Don't it make you feel so sad
And you know i'm returnin'
Way into the land
And you start breakin' down
And go into the pain
Cause you been on the fast train

You had to go on the lam
Cross into no man's land
Ain't nobody here on your wavelength
And nobody gonna give you a helpin' hand
You just start breakin' down
And just go into the sun
When you hear that fast train

And you keep movin' along
To the sound of the wheels
Deep inside your heart you really know
You know just how it feels
And you start breakin' down
And the deserts reign on the fast train

You're way over the line
This time you're out of your mind
This time you're out of your depth
And to the window you crack open
Oh but there's nowhere to go
There's only sleet and there's snow
Keep on movin' on a fast train

You hear they're goin' over the line
Oh standin' on the edge of the hill
Oh nobody on their wavelength
Nobody to give you a helping hand
And you start breakin' down
When you hear the sound
Keep on movin' on a fast train
I'm goin' nowhere on a fast train
Goin' nowhere
Goin' nowhere on a fast train
Goin' nowhere on a fast train
Fast train
Going nowhere
Goin nowhere on a fast train
To the wasteland
To the wasteland
On a fast train
On a fast train
On a fast train
I'm goin nowhere
I'm goin' nowhere on a fast train
Goin' nowhere
On a fast train
