Watching the long faces   Riding this run down track    And the lost places   From a dream that never brings them back   And the sad truth is   Nothing but a cold hard fact.      Chorus:   I'm riding the blue train   Over the miles yet to cover   A ghost in a hurry to fade   I'm taking it one way to nowhere   Afraid you might be there   To find me inside this blue train.      Counting the burned bridges   Trailing this rusted wreck   As our back pages   Scatter in the dust we left   Like a pearl necklace   Falling from around my neck.      Chorus:   I'm riding the blue train   Over the miles yet to cover   A ghost in a hurry to fade   I'm taking it one way to nowhere   Afraid you might be there   To find me inside this blue train.      Away down the low road   A ticket to an empty room   A rendezvous unknown.      Chorus:   I'm riding the blue train   Over the miles yet to cover   A ghost in a hurry to fade   I'm taking it one way to nowhere   Afraid you might be there   To find me inside this blue train...
