Like a jazz refrain the midnight train is callin'   Hey, you'd best go soon the late night moon is fallin'   Let the nightbirds whisper to themselves   This train pulls out at twelve   High tides breakin' on the shores, church bell tolls      Chorus:      There's a train that leaves tonight   I might just ride on   Nothin' here that makes me wanna stay   There's a train that leaves tonight   I might just ride away      I just can't hope to tell you 'bout the stillness and the quiet   'bout the frozen fields so lonely and the train songs in the night   About the sounds of nothin' moving, night fields all aglow   I simply got to leave you my heart cries out to go      Chorus
