Midnight Train

**Verse 1:** In the still of the night, 'neath the pale moonlight, Rolls the midnight train, down the tracks again. With a whistle that weeps, through the towns it creeps, And the conductor's eyes, hold the weight of goodbyes. **Chorus:** Oh, the rails sing low, as the breezes blow, And the stars above, whisper tales of love. But the train rolls on, from dusk till dawn, With the lonely heart, of the man apart. **Verse 2:** Through the slumbering land, with a steady hand, Guides the midnight train, 'gainst the soft rain's refrain. Past the windows aglow, where the dreamers go, To the lands they yearn, in their sleep they turn. **Chorus:** Oh, the night's embrace, holds a silent grace, As the wheels resound, on the homeward bound. Yet the train rolls on, from dusk till dawn, With the lonely soul, playing his role. **Verse 3:** Where the rivers bend, thoughts of journeys end, On the midnight train, echoes of refrain. In the conductor's sigh, 'neath the vast night sky, Lies a wistful tune, for the crescent moon. **Chorus:** Oh, the tracks unwind, like the threads of time, And the stars on high, light the somber sky. But the train rolls on, from dusk till dawn, With the quiet plea, of the man who's free. from dusk till dawn, With the quiet plea, of the man who's free. **Verse 4:** As the town sleeps tight, in the shroud of night, Moves the midnight train, through the gentle rain. With each mile he steers, fall the silent tears, For the love he knows, like the wind it blows. **Chorus:** Oh, the journey's call, through the spring and fall, And the heart that aches, with each breath it takes. Still the train rolls on, from dusk till dawn, With the whispered pain, of the midnight train.
