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
Down on the night train,
I feel the starlight steal away
Use up a lifetime looking for the break of day
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
Down on the night train,
I feel the starlight steal away
Use up a lifetime looking for the break of day
Hard rain following on,
cold wheels moving on
Everybody they're so alone
down on the night train
Hard rain following on,
cold wheels moving on
Everybody they're so alone
down on the night train
night train
