VERSE 1.
Rainy night hugs the station
The taxis run and hide
Subway rhymes wander downward
And beckon me to ride
Weaving my way back home
On the night train
On another homeward run
On the night train

CHORUS
Slipping from stations
Through the swirling steam
The sounds and the motions
Set my mind to dreaming
Of gliding through the mountains
And across the moonlite plains
Coming home to you
Coming home to you

VERSE 2.
Touching down and shooting sparks
We're rolling through the dark
Whispered words and lost connections
They haunt the weary hearts
Weaving their way back home
On the night train
On another homeward run
On the night train

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
Lovers smile
Their whispers pass me bye
Sometime I'd like to learn
The secrets of these aisles
Of the love the has grown
And the love that has gone home alone
On the night train
On the night train

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 1.
Rainy night hugs the station
The taxis run and hide
Subway rhymes wander downward
And beckon me to ride
Weaving my way back home
On the night train
On another homeward run
On the night train

CHORUS
Slipping from stations
Through the swirling steam
The sounds and the motions
Set my mind to dreaming
Of gliding through the mountains
And across the moonlite plains
Coming home to you
Coming home to you

really cool song... nice harmony

I liked the instrumentation as a whole. The song has a good story and the melody enhanced the lyrics. The vocalist reminded me of Joe Walsh. Good harmonies. Overall well done.

Here's a song about a memorable night train ride, taking the singer back home to his love. The poetry and alliteration in this song are stellar. I especially admire the use of alliteration (slipping swirling steel). That's some great lyric writing!

Great beat, drives and captures listener. Could be a Van Morrison or Maybe Bruce Springsteen tune. Good story and creates a good picture of the travel.

I like the piano riff. Great harmony. Good hook.

Like the jaunty use of the keyboard. Music makes you move. Lyrics are such that they provide a clear picture in my mind. Love the voice quality, gentle raspiness that feels like a friend. Nice song.

Nice track! You really nailed this one!

Nice beat . . and smooth vocals.

Great blend of instrumentation to bring a very haunting vibe to this song. The Vocal suits the musical accompaniment wonderfully. Love the "Weaving my way back home" line, it seems to sum up all the others and give them a traveled feel. Great one!

good overall production, good choice of sounds. This song has a carribean feel, perhaps for the use of a steel gtr., lyrics are good, voices the same suitable for this type of song. good and memrable melody. congrats. good work
