Overnight Sleeper Lyrics - Steve Hackett

Beneath the scattered light 

Across bare hills of night 

I dreamt a train just missed me 

Another came in sight 

I ran across the track 

Then had to turn right back 

A new one came straight at me 

The next behind my back 

Nowhere else to turn to 

There are walls on either side 

Why must the embankment be so high 

Beside myself with weakness 

And faint from running wild 

I could hear the sound of burning coal

They never seem to stop 

But always get to smoke 

Right out between two tunnels 

I ran until I woke
