He was due home yesterday
But he ainŽt here
Her manŽs been gone
For nigh on a year
He was due home yesterday
But he ainŽt here
[II. Crying Town]
Down your street your crying is a well-known sound
Your street is very well known, right here in town
Your town is very famous for the little girl
Whose cries can be heard all around the world

[IV. Ivor The Engine Driver]
My name is Ivor
IŽm an engine driver
I know him well
I know why you feel blue
Just Žcause heŽs late
DonŽt mean heŽll never get through
He told me he loves you
He ainŽt no liar, I ainŽt either
So letŽs have a smile for an old engine driver
So letŽs have a smile for an old engine driver
Please take a sweet
Come take a walk with me
WeŽll sort it out
Back at my place, maybe
ItŽll come right
You ainŽt no fool, I ainŽt either
So why not be nice to an old engine driver?
Better be nice to an old engine driver
Better be nice to an old engine driver
[V. Soon Be Home]

Come on, old horse
Soon be home
Soon be home
Soon
WeŽll soon, soon, soon be home
WeŽll soon
WeŽll soon, soon, soon be home
WeŽll soon be home
Soon be home ...
[VI. You Are Forgiven]
Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
I canŽt believe it
Do my eyes deceive me?
Am I back in your arms?
Away from all harm?
ItŽs like a dream to be with you again
CanŽt believe that IŽm with you again
I missed you and I must admit
I kissed a few and once did sit
On Ivor the Engine DriverŽs lap
And later with him, had a nap
You are forgiven, you are forgiven, you are forgiven ... [ad lib]
You are forgiven
