NIGHT TRAIN
©2018 words and music by John R. Black, ℗42nd Street Music Seattle
Had to catch the night train
Had to be on time
Had told her I loved her
Told her she was mine
Then she called from Moscow
Said I have so much pain
The war has broke me down
There is no one to blame
(Chorus:)
Night train, night train
Oh, that lonely Siberian night train
Night train, night train
It’s a lonely, lonely heart-breaking train
It’s a lonely, lonely heart-breaking train
That Siberian night train
She’s my Russian Beauty
My love for her is strong
I lay awake at night alone
Wonder what is wrong
Doesn’t matter how I try
Russia is her home
She cries for mother Russia
Now I cry alone
(Chorus)
(Instrumental)
Night train to Moscow
Tonight, I will not ride
The burning hope inside of me
Has finally died
Night train to Moscow
Whose bed will she sleep
Will I ever know
Whose heart she will keep
(Chorus x2)
