Featured Unknown/Underrated Song of the Rock Era: "Took The Last Train" by David Gates

Last week, we presented Journey's "Wheel in the Sky", a song you may not have heard before.  This one you probably know, and that fact cements further the idea that it should have been a Top 10 song.  You know the man from his days with Bread and from his one big solo hit "Goodbye Girl".  Here is David Gates' follow-up to that song:

Took The Last Train

Words and Music By David Gates

Took the Last Train to St. Tropez

Had in mind to dance the night away

Experimented with a cognac high

When in France you give everything a try

Soon the crowd dwindled down to two

Not a soul around but me and you

You just smiled in French and took my hand

Spoke the words I tried my best to understand

You're tellin' me-

Viens chez moi

Ce soir va jamais terminer

On va rester toujours ensemble-you're

tellin' me

Come with me

Tonight will last forever

We will stay together always

Wake the next day and found her note

Love ya, goodbye that's all she wrote

And every night down at the place we met

I wait for her and those sweet words I

can't forget

You're tellin' me-

Viens chez moi

Ce soir va jamais terminer

On va rester toujours ensemble-'cause

I want you to

Come with me

Tonight will last forever

We will stay together always
