I heard the pitter patter
Of a slow winter rain
I heard the lonesome whistle
Of a far away train.

As I sat in the silence
Broken only by a train
I heard a heartbreak last night.

Oh, how you cried
When we said goodbye
As we stood at
The station in the rain
And a whisper was saying
From a pine tree close by
When we heard
The whistle of your train.

I heard the moans of sobbing
Of the wind in the sign
I felt the cold icy finger
Of fear from the spine.
For I knew in my heart
You'd never be mine
And I heard a heartbreak last night.

For I knew in my heart
You'd never be mine
And I heard a heartbreak last night...
