| Like a jazz refrain the midnight train is callin'
|
| Hey, you’d best go soon the late night moon is fallin'
|
| Let the nightbirds whisper to themselves
|
| This train pulls out at twelve
|
| High tides breakin' on the shores, church bell tolls
|
| There’s a train that leaves tonight
|
| I might just ride on
|
| Nothin' here that makes me wanna stay
|
| There’s a train that leaves tonight
|
| I might just ride away
|
| I just can’t hope to tell you 'bout the stillness and the quiet
|
| 'Bout the frozen fields so lonely and the train songs in the night
|
| About the sounds of nothin' moving, night fields all aglow
|
| I simply got to leave you my heart cries out to go |
