CHERYL’S GOING HOME 
(Lind)
Adam Faith - 1966


The thunder cracks against the night
The dark explodes with a yellow light
The railway sign is flashing bright 
The people stare but I don’t care
My flesh is cold against my bones 
And Cheryl’s going home

Come hear me shouting through the rain
Is there a way to stop the train?
I’ve got some reasons to explain about the way I was today
The whistle moans and I’m alone
And Cheryl’s going home

Santa Rose Special’s down the line
I’m running desperately behind
There’s only one thing on my mind
The rain and tears are in my eyes
The things I say will not be known
And Cheryl’s going home

And Cheryl’s going home
Oh, Cheryl’s going home
