Lyrics: Todd Rundgren. Hit Me Like a Train.

I have visions, I have visions of a happy land
And in this happy land, happy land
There is still one unhappy man
Because of all the things he wants

There is always something he can't have
It's like a siren singing, like the church bell ringing
I can feel you winning and my head starts spinning
Now I'm back at the beginning

I, I, I see you lying there
And I, I, I felt a wave come over me
And I, I, I, I thought I had escaped you
As I sat down by the roadside

And it hit me like a train
Hit me like a freight train
When the truth came down on me
It hit me like a long, slow train

It is written, I know it's written
All God's children get smitten
And if there's anyone, anybody
I know the Lord, can fit that description

And if I could turn back the hands of time
Still I wouldn't know what I'm supposed to change
It's like a well gone dry, like a kiss goodbye
And as the grip gets tighter, I continue to fight it
Then you strike me with your lightning

I, I, I woke up in a cold sweat
And I, I, I thought I heard you call my name
And I, I, I, I had to reach out for your fingers
And before I could call the doctor

And it hit me like a train
Hit me like a freight train
When the truth came down on me
Swear you hit me like a long, slow train

Lord, you hit me like a train
Hit me like a coal train
When your love came down on me, yeah
Say hit me like a long, slow
Lord, I feel it coming down

I, I, I, I, ooh
I, I, I, oh Lord, have mercy on me
I can't hold out no longer
I was ready to surrender

And it hit me like a train, yeah
Hit me like a freight train
When your love came down on me, yeah
And it me like a long, slow train

Lord, you hit me like a train
Hit me like a soul train

When your love
When your love came down on me child
It hit me like a long slow
How long was it, long train
Hit me like a coal train

Hit me child
When your love came down on me
When your love come down on me
