Midnight Train

That midnight tram is a long and a slow one

The timetable's set, the brakernan is tired

Your seat is reserved with exceptions for no one

No luggage allowed, no ticket required

It will be there right on time at the station

Even if midnight must come at high noon

And you will not know that tram's destination

And you'll not leave late nor one minute too soon

You may sit beside fear and go worse than lonely

Or travel with trust and love and faith restored

These choices you have and these choices only

When that tram rolls in and you step on board

Now that whistle blows, yes it's already whimn'

If you listen close, you can hear it soft and clear

And that headlight burns, yes it's already shimn'

You might as well choose right now, it's love or fear

It's love or fear
