Midnight Train

歌詞

(Mark Erelli) I climbed out my bedroom window Shimmied down the tree Under cover of the darkness I crept on down the street She is waiting for my signal Hope her daddy doesn't hear When she scrambles down the trellis And we just up and disappear I'll be waiting 'neath a streetlight all alone Like a dog waits for a bone Baby please don't let me down I'm only trying to make you understand Come on, baby take my hand Only love and love alone can save us now CHORUS Oh Angie, can't you hear that whistle blow Pack your bags it's time to go Don't you think it's time we made our getaway We'll ride the rails 'till morning comes around Wake up in some other town Where nobody knows our names Run away with me and ride the midnight train We discovered long ago This town ain't big enough for two Who refuse to dream in black and white Like all the others do I want to see them colors shine Just like the stories I've been told I want to follow that old rainbow 'Till we find that pot of gold Oh Angie, don't you listen When they tell you I'm insane They're only trying to keep your heart up on the fence 'Cause the truth is it's the other way around That's the problem with this town I'm the only one who's talking any sense Oh Angie, can't you hear the engine whine As it rumbles down the line (CHORUS) Oh Angie, can't you hear that lonesome sound Nothing else can stop us now
