Night Train
PETER ANSELM EGAN, MIDGE URE, BILLY CURRIE, DAVE FORMULA, STEVE STRANGE
The message
In a faded envelope
In a vice-like grip
The passage
Of a carriage in the dark
On a foreign trip (again)
The image
Of a figure in the trees
In the evening rain
The knowledge
Of a stranger in your midst
On a speeding train (again)
Night train
He senses
Perfume lingers in the night
Smell of French cologne
He watches
As a hand turns down the light
Leaves him all alone (again)
He whispers
In a dim lit empty room
But it's all in vain
He laughs
When he reads the note he finds
On the midnight train (again)
Night train
Journey on the night train
