LYRICS:
The dew of dawn now fills my cup
As night-time shadows fade
The sun is slowly coming up
And new plans must be made
The early train cuts through the air
And hurtles down the track
On it rides a maiden fair
Who won't be coming back

She's leaving for another town
So far away from me
I sit and wear this sad old frown
And think of what will be
A maiden fair now gone for good
Although I begged her stay
With pleading words I thought I could
Retain her love today

But she would not be swayed at all
By any words from me
This tower of love was bound to fall
And she was sure to flee
I gave my heart but all in vain
She exercised free will
I hope in time I'll love again
Some maiden fairer still

I thought we had a love we two could share
Now she's gone away without a care
Can that be fair

The dew of dawn now fills my cup
As night-time shadows fade
The sun is slowly coming up
And new plans must be made
The early train cuts through the air
And hurtles down the track
On it rides a maiden fair
Who won't be coming back
