| Out of the night burning with light
|
| Train shining black, I won’t look back, life is running
|
| Hoping some day someone will say I got it made
|
| Pull up the shade, let the sun in Down on the night train, I feel the starlight steal away
|
| Use up a lifetime looking for the break of day
|
| Border patrol looking through me Towns without names all look the same, I hear crying
|
| Paris to Spain, countries in pain
|
| Caught up in flight, feeling the sight, Europe dying
|
| Rolling on, hear the wheels singing, fever keep coming on so strong
|
| My ticket paid, trying to fade
|
| I hope I get there not just somewhere I was leaving
|
| Out in the dark all the wolves bark
|
| I fold my arms try to keep warm by believing
|
| Hard rain following on, cold wheels moving on Everybody they’re so alone down on the night train |
