I have these dreams about trains
At least a couple times a week
I wake startled and breathless
I can't form the words to speak
It takes me a second to recover
I need to take a look around
Each one is different from the other
I wake to hear not a sound
I have these dreams about trains
I have these dreams about trains
I have these dreams about trains
Some are east bound steam trains for the coast
Some are bearing down on me
Some come through the fallen snow
Some are carrying a casket
Some have people inside
Some lay pennies in its path
Some come from the mountainside
I have these dreams about trains
I have these dreams about trains
I have these dreams about trains
Last call, all aboard, come along now all ye ghosts
And the conductors before me
Are in the bar giving a toast, we have miles to go before we sleep
And there are bridges we need to cross
The woods are lovely, dark and deep
I have these dreams about trains
Some are to reunite lovers
When I see a black plume of smoke
I know they're safe, in the arms of one another
Some will salute as it's passing by
I can feel their engines are running hot
I have these dreams about trains
I don't think they're ever gonna stop
I have these dreams about trains
I have these dreams about trains
I have these dreams about trains
