Question
Old 80s or 90s country song with lyrics like:  when i couldn't stop calling your name; hit by a slow moving train, moonlight on rose wallpaper (maybe).

Answer
Hi Vic!  This is just a wild guess, but I'm a huge Restless Heart fan, and when I read your question, the first song that came to mind was Restless Heart's "Fast Movin' Train."  I've included the lyrics for you to look at and a link to the video, so see what you think!  Hope this helps!

Artist: Restless Heart
Song: Fast Movin' Train

She had a long line of lovers,
Mostly the gambling kind
I didn't want to be like the others
And get left behind
I heard about her bad reputation
And how she had a heart of stone
How she'd give a man a moment of pleasure
To get what she wants

I had a weakness for her kind of woman
I could never deny
I knew I wouldn't ever see it coming
'Til I was lost in her eyes
But the more I tried to keep her at a distance
The more I became aware
She was breaking down my resistance
'Til I no longer cared

(CHORUS)
Tonight I saw the red, red rose and the yellow moon
Shining on the silhouette lying in the shadows of my bedroom
I knew it when we made love and I couldn't quit calling her name
That I'd been hit by another fast movin' train
I'd been hit by another fast movin' train

I wondered as I lay there and held her
Why can't this be real
And why the fear wouldn't let me tell her
How good she made me feel
I doubted if she would even be around when the moment comes
I waited 'til she fell asleep to whisper,
"Baby, look what you've done."

(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)

I can answer just about any question about lyrics or the artists who recorded the songs--80s and 90s country especially. I don't watch many new videos, but the older the video question, the more likely I am to be able to answer it.

Experience

I've been a country music fan for all of my 20+ years! I somehow have a knack for being able to remember all the words to all the songs (and who sang them for the most part) even though I can't carry a tune to save my life!

Education/Credentials
Juris Doctor. (So if I can't remember an answer off the top of my head, I have the research skills to figure it out!)
