Track Insight / Lyrics
Restless wheels go 'round, the rhythms echoing
Frozen in time, like the ghost of a city postcard showing
Faded signs that screamed of places new and bright
Now but hollow echoes whisper through the endless night
Dusty platforms stretch, my shadow's the only friend
Sunken eyes in weary faces, no human touch to mend
The only warmth's the glow on rusty metal's breast
A love letter scrawled in stains of fuel and engine grease
Night trains running on a heart that's empty now
I'm searching for a station where love can somehow
Catch me, hold me tight, and let me find some home
Before I fade to dust, and this soul is gone
Laughter from a distant track, a couple's stolen kiss
Cries of lovers parting, as the whistle's final hush
In my head, I hear your voice, like the reverberate hum
Of a engine racing through the night, the ghost of what's come
Dusty platforms stretch, my shadow's the only friend
Sunken eyes in weary faces, no human touch to mend
The only warmth's the glow on rusty metal's breast
A love letter scrawled in stains of fuel and engine grease
Night trains running on a heart that's empty now
I'm searching for a station where love can somehow
Catch me, hold me tight, and let me find some home
Before I fade to dust, and this soul is gone
Time's a thief, it steals the moments we hold dear
Leaving us with nothing but the memories clear
But maybe, just maybe, love will find its way
Through the cracks of worn tracks, on a night train's lonely sway
Night trains running on a heart that's empty now
I'm searching for a station where love can somehow
Catch me, hold me tight, and let me find some home
Before I fade to dust, and this soul is gone
(Filtered voice whispers) Been drifting since the yard left dry
Now here I'm stuck, by a depot's lonely sigh
