Midnight Train

Lyrics

[Intro]


(Acoustic guitar strumming, simple steady drum beat)


[Verse 1]
Met her by the corner store
Staring at the wooden floor
She had a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a better land
She said, "Hey traveler, where you heading?
Can I come along?
I've been waiting for a spark
To sing a brand new song"

[Chorus]
Gonna roll away on a midnight train
Gonna wash away all the heavy pain
Whisper sweet things in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
On a midnight train
Yeah, on a midnight train

[Verse 2]
The whistle blows a steady cry
Underneath the open sky
She looks at me and starts to smile
Says we can stay here for a while
Her eyes are reflecting the yellow light
As we disappear into the night

[Chorus]
Gonna roll away on a midnight train
Gonna wash away all the heavy pain
Whisper sweet things in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
On a midnight train
Yeah, on a midnight train

[Bridge]


(Dreamy strings swell, acoustic guitar continues)
Ooh, the wheels are spinning round
Leaving this sleepy town
Ooh, we are heading far away
Into a brand new day

[Chorus]
Gonna roll away on a midnight train
Gonna wash away all the heavy pain
Whisper sweet things in the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
On a midnight train
Yeah, on a midnight train

[Outro]
Just a midnight train...
Rolling through the rain...

(Fades out with gentle acoustic guitar and soft humming)
