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 I'm taking it one way to nowhere Afraid you might be there To find me inside this blue train  Counting the burned bridges Trailing this rusted wreck As our back pages Scatter in the dust we left Like a pearl necklace Fallen from around your neck  I'm riding the blue train Over the miles yet to cover A ghost in a hurry to fade I'm taking it one way to nowhere Afraid you might be there To 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 I'm taking it one way to nowhere Afraid you might be there To find me inside this blue train
