Mister DJ won't you please play me a song?. Play it for an old boy who's a long, long way from home. With a thousand miles ahead and a thousand miles behind.
Midnight train, roll on. Midnight train, roll on. . Clear them tracks and keep that whistle blowin'. Take this stranger on to Santa Fe. It seems like romance and danger.
He blew in town at midnight. And he didn't mean to stay. And then he found her. Just at closing time at the Alamo Cafe. . And the way he smiled and carried on.

You follow the footsteps. Echoes leading down the hall. To a room, there's music playing. Tiny bells with moving parts. Here the shadows make things ugly.
Helping the kids out of their coats. But wait the babies haven't been born. Unpacking the bags and setting up. And planting lilacs and buttercups. . But in the meantime I've got it hard.
I was cold in a dream. Somewhere close to the surface. Between the ice and the stream. There is three inches of air. . So I swam towards the light. I let my breath get there first.
I used up your compassion, so I come to make a trade. You can ?leave/hate? me but just love me in return. And if I know where to find you, I'll stay out of your way.
