Lyrics Midnight Trolley - Daniel Kahn, Vanya Zhuk

Midnight Trolley

When darkness descends
And I can’t beat my dues
I’ll wander the streets
After midnight
'Till the last trolley car
Comes around into view
A blue light
In the black night
The last trolley car
Comes around into view
A blue light
In the black night
The trolley at night
As she circles the town
With all of the streets
Rolling past her
She rescues us all
Who are treading the ground
From disaster
To disaster
She rescues us all
Who are treading the ground
From disaster
To disaster
Blue trolley at night
Won’t you open your door
For every floundering failure
Stranded tonight
On this shivering shore
Your sailors
My saviors
Stranded tonight
On this shivering shore
Your sailors
My saviors
And again, I can leave
All my troubles behind
And warm up my soul
With the kindness
That shoulder to shoulder
We passengers find
In silence
In silence
That shoulder to shoulder
We passengers find
In silence
In silence
And the trolley sails on
In its lumbering flow
A slumbering city
Beside it
And the pain that had pecked
At my brain like a crow
Subsided
Subsided
The pain that had pecked
At my brain like a crow
Subsided
Subsided
