Out of the night burning with light

Train shining black, I won't look back, life is running

Hoping some day someone will say I got it made

Pull up the shade, let the sun in



Down on the night train, I feel the starlight steal away

Use up a lifetime looking for the break of day



Border patrol looking through me

Towns without names all look the same, I hear crying

Paris to Spain, countries in pain

Caught up in flight, feeling the sight, Europe dying



Rolling on, hear the wheels singing, fever keep coming on so strong

My ticket paid, trying to fade

I hope I get there not just somewhere I was leaving

Out in the dark all the wolves bark

I fold my arms try to keep warm by believing



Hard rain following on, cold wheels moving on

Everybody they're so alone down on the night train
