Lyrics

on my way home lost track of the moon, sitting on a train
cushion at my back lost track of the moon, sitting on a train 
venus, she was shining on the old man
she was shining down right on his head
venus, she was shining on the old man
and i didn't hear a word that poor man said

oh diana, can you help me now?
i've been looking for you everywhere
i got an arrow and i got a bow
but i can't let it, can't let it go

i lost my nerve,  i lost my nerve
slipping away like the tracks behind this train
i lost my nerve, i lost my nerve
slipping away with the tears on my face

now i know he's got my picture on his wall
and i know he got my letters
i don't like to see a working man fall
but i think i could do better

i can hear my sister laugh at me
see my papa turn in his grave
just like the bible and the story of eve
they're gonna blame it all on me anyway

so i lost my nerve, i lost my nerve
slipping away like the tracks behind this train
i lost my nerve, i lost my nerve
slipping away with the tears on my face

oh diana, you can't help me now
i was looking for you everywhere
i had an arrow and i had a bow
but i couldn't let it, couldn't let it go

on my way home lost track of the moon, sitting on a train
cushion at my back lost track of the moon, sitting on a train
