There hasn't been a train here for about two thousand years

Maybe there never was one but the tracks are everywhere

And my pale imagination makes me think there'll be one soon

Maybe it's desperation or the shadows on the moon

Chorus

No no, I will still believe

It's hard when we have been deceived

And maybe I'm mistaken and maybe I'm not sure

But if that train ever does come back, then I will be on board

And when I go to sleep at night I hear someone else's song

Sung by some Canadian and thousands sing along

And everyone is dancing but I don't know the words

Mystery and chimera and a million flying birds

Chorus

And everything gets quiet and the sea has a frozen tide

And night has started to descend but my eyes are open wide

And far off in the distance the sun looks like a train

Maybe my imagination is fooling me again

Chorus
