Lyrics

Midnight train

Chorus
Midnight train
Take me with you
don't bring me back again
Midnight train
I`ll leave my suit cases
won`t need them again

V1
My youth has gone in wasted days
Tarnished with rust I fall to dust
The wildness of my passion
Turned a shadow in wasted land

Chorus

V2
Dead flowers beaten by the rain
A sunless day when I walked away
Maybe I have lived in vain
When I`m gone will we meet again ?

Bridge

A father with grief and tears
Lovers such as we just wonder in exile
What words of love
can our lips say ?

Chorus
