Midnight Train

I’ve seen fire

And I’ve seen rain

I’ve been a passenger on the long night train

I’ve seen pleasure

And I’ve seen pain

But never once did I choose to abstain

Spent a long time crying

Lord I miss you something bad

Spent my whole life lying

Never knowing what I had

So wrap my bleeding heart in cellophane

Put it on display in the windowpane

Let it beat right out the picture frame

Cause I’m a passenger

A passenger on the midnight train

Nights get longer

Sunlight decay

Speeding along on that dark railway

We’ll hit the station

Then pull away

We’ll just sit back and let the time fade to grey

Spent a long time crying

Lord I miss you something bad

Spent my whole life lying

Never knowing what I had

So wrap my bleeding heart in cellophane

Put it on display in the windowpane

Let it beat right out the picture frame

Cause I’m a passenger

A passenger on the midnight train

I want to live outside the scene now

See you in more of my dreams now

People come and then they go

Lord I wish it wasn’t so

So wrap my bleeding heart in cellophane

Put it on display in the windowpane

Let it beat right out the picture frame

Cause I’m a passenger

A passenger on the midnight train
