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
The 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, feel the starlight steal away
Use up a lifetime looking for the break of day Rolling on, hear the wheels singing
Fever keeps 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
But I folds 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 'lone down on the night train
Hard rain following on, cold wheels moving on
Everybody they're so 'lone down on the night train
Night train, night train Hard rain following on, cold wheels moving on
Everybody they're so 'lone down on the night train
Hard rain following on, cold wheels moving on
Everybody oh, so 'lone down on the night train
Night train, night train, night train, night train
