lyrics

Riding alone in the midnight train, gonna get to my girl today
Travellin’ on ‘til the mist of dawn, when the sun will shed its light again
Movin’ through mountains, rivers and valleys, a cosmic tapestry at the touch of a hand
Watching the world unfold in front of my face as the locomotive burns the rails

Uh uh uh, I’m riding on the midnight train
Uh uh uh, oh yeah
Here it comes again - The midnight train

Speeding at noon on the shadow of the moon, seeing colours that I never dreamt,
Thinking out loud and painting shapes in the clouds as the train keeps chooing on its way
At the light of the stars the future turns into past – gonna see them up close some day
People dream on as the Earth sings its song and I hear it speed along, speed along, speed along

Uh uh uh, I’m riding on the midnight train
Uh uh uh, oh yes
On the midnight train - Here it comes again

Riding on the midnight train, like a lightning bolt across the air
Never mind your destination, in the end what matters most’s the trip

Oh yeah, here it comes again – The midnight train

Oh how I long for this album in vinyl format! Such smoothness. Such warmth. Such execution. This music begs to be taken along and woven into memories. Everyone I’ve shared this album with has loved it. The music speaks far and wide. Shouting out to a fellow follower, Brian Lehmann, for his excellent taste in music. If not for him, I likely would have never stumbled upon this absolute gem! Plinchmo Larduktin

so why do i love this Lp so much .. it takes back to the early 90s it has that Uk indie sound with a dazzling clear crisp production sound .its Ahead phone dream land up load .. It picks you up takes you on a journey through the late 60s while spinning through the 90s crashing into the indie baggy sound then brings back home again .. Sublime .. steviemoore
