Long Black Train

When the nightingale sings in the deep of the night And the robin he sleeps on the wing Hear the toll of the bell ringing out all is well And the city's golden lights shining on Ride the long black train Ride the long black train It takes us all the black train Take me home black train Ride the long black train Ride the long black train It takes us all the black train Take me home black train And the shadows we pass turns my soul into glass And the streets that I walk are all tamed Hear the toll of the bell ringing out all is well And the city's golden lights shining on Ride the long black train Ride the long black train It takes us all the black train Take me home black train And the briar and the rose in the churchyard they grow 'Neath the clock tower tall all entwined And the raven he flies round the oak as she sighs And the candles they call out my name To ride the long black train Ride the long black train It takes us all the black train Take me home black train
