The Blue Train

Watching the long faces

Riding this run-down track

And the lost places

From a dream that never brings them back

And the sad truth is

Nothing but a cold hard fact

I'm riding the blue train

Over the miles yet to cover

A ghost in a hurry to fade

And I'm taking it one way to nowhere

Afraid you might be there

And find me inside this blue train

Counting the burned bridges

Trailing this rusted track

As our back pages

Scatter in the dust we left

Like a pearl necklace

Fallen from around my neck

I'm riding the blue train

Over the miles yet to cover

A ghost in a hurry to fade

And I'm taking it one way to nowhere

Afraid you might be there

And find me inside this blue train

Away down the low road

A ticket to an empty room

A rendezvous unknown

I'm riding the blue train

Over the miles yet to cover

A ghost in a hurry to fade

And I'm taking it one way to nowhere

Afraid you might be there

And find me inside this blue train

I'm riding the blue train

Over the miles yet to cover (Blue train)

A ghost in a hurry to fade (Ghost in a hurry to fade)

And I'm taking it one way to nowhere

Afraid you might be there

And find me inside this blue train

This blue train

Away down the low road

You might be there

Away down the low road
