(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
Night train
Night train

Night train
Night train
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
Night train
Night train

Night train
Night train
Night train

Journey on the night train...
