I got the midnight train rollin',
Through the shadows and the gloom,
Whispers of your memory,
Echoin' in this empty room.
The engine’s moan is lonely,
Just like my heart tonight,
Your love was a fire that burned bright,
Now it’s faded out of sight.
Silence wraps around me,
As the tracks begin to weep,
I’m searchin' for a reason,
But the night just won’t let me sleep.
The moonlight dances on the gravel,
While the stars won’t shine for me,
I’m lost inside this darkness,
Where you used to be.
I hear the distant whistle,
It cuts right through the air,
But all I feel is emptiness,
And a longing for your care.
The midnight train keeps rollin',
As I let the memories flow,
A love that felt like fire,
Now just ashes in the snow.
So I'll ride this lonely heartbeat,
Till the dawn brings in the light,
I’ll carry you in silence,
And let go of you tonight.
So here’s to the midnight train,
And the love that slipped away,
I’ll find my peace in shadows,
As I ride into the day.
Blues
train, midnight, moan, silence, fire
