When your good nights have been said And you are lying in bed With the covers pulled up tight And though you count every sheep You get the feeling that sleep Is going to stay away tonight That's when you hear it coming That is when you hear the humming of the Midnight train, here again Can?t explain that midnight train, that midnight train Starlight Express, you must confess Are you real, yes or no? Starlight Express, answer me yes I don't want you to go Want you to take me away But bring me home before daylight And in the time between Take me to everywhere But don't abandon me there Just want to say I've been I believe in you completely Though I may be dreaming sweetly of the I can hear the train, here again Can?t explain that midnight train, that midnight train Starlight Express, you must confess Are you real, yes or no? Starlight Express, answer me yes I don't want you to go Starlight Express, answer me yes I don't want you to go Starlight Express, you must confess, Are you real, yes or no? Starlight Express, answer me yes I don't want you to go
