"Midnight Train" lyrics

"Midnight Train"

The midnight train and the forty train
Run all night long
The midnight train and the forty train
Run all night long

They run
Until the break of day

The little wheels and the great big wheels
Turn all night long
The little wheels and the great big wheels
Turn all night long

They turn
Until the break of day

The one you left and the one you love
Cries all night long
The one you left and the one you love
Cries all night long

She cries
Until the break of day

This love of mine, little light of mine
Shines all night long
This love of mine, little light of mine
Shines all night long

He shines
Until the break of day
It shines
Until the break of day
