I remember the sound of the passing train
As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain
And the touch of a hand and the way she said 'Goodbye'.
And we walked in the sun down the royal mile
Saw the light in her eye and the way she smiled
And she cried in the night and I heard her say 'Don't go'.
What can I do, sweet darlin', I don't want to go away
Looking at you sweet darlin', I know I want to stay
What can I do, sweet darlin'?
In the light of the day I was rolling home
I was thinking of you waiting on your own
And I wanted to call but then something said 'Oh no'.
Yeah but now it's a dream, it's a memory
But I'll never forget what you gave to me
I was lost and alone but you made me feel ok.
What can I do, sweet darlin', I don't want to go away
Looking at you sweet darlin', I know I want to stay
What can I do, sweet darlin'?
I remember the sound of the passing train
As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain
And the touch of a hand and the way she said 'Goodbye'.
What can I do, sweet darlin', I don't want to go away
Looking at you sweet darlin', I know I want to stay
What can I do, sweet darlin'?

Great song. Beautiful celtic flavour with tin whstle. Good job. Looked for it for years. Heard it camping one time on radio. In 70s. Searched but didnt know who sang it or name. Found it! Aha !

Got me through first couple of years at Leeds Uni. Genius and much missed.

I was 18. She was 16, beautiful and my girlfriend... But I had to leave the town and her... As the bus drove away, the radio played this song... Those eternal minutes still remain... "...looking at you, Sweet Darling, I know I want to stay... What can I do Sweet Darling...mmm..." R.I.P. Gerry. That was great music!

I have been trying to find this song for 30 years. Didn't know the title and I thought it could be Gerry Rafferty or Al Stewart. Now I can RIP along with Gerry.
