The last train arrives at midnight
It’s always on time
The conductor is a heartache
The engineer a frame of mind
And standing in the shadows
On the platform in the rain
Is a memory of you
Unveiled and unashamed

And like a Ghost Train you’re riding
Down the back rails of my heart
Bringing back memories to me in the dark
And thru the foggy stillness
The whistle moans a sad refrain
And my soul it feels the rumble
From a runaway
A runaway Ghost Train

The stationmaster closes shop
As the train pulls in the station
He kills the light that illuminates
All other destinations
And in those eerie moments
As the engines spit and spew
I see that ragged baggage boy is me
And that memory is you

And like a Ghost Train you’re riding
Down the back rails of my heart
Bringing back memories to me in the dark
And thru the foggy stillness
The whistle moans a sad refrain
And my soul it feels the rumble
From a runaway
A runaway Ghost Train
