Moanin' of the Midnight Train

Sweetheart, your heart is loaded down
with useless burdens and bones
I can tell by the tear stains on the letter
you wrote me from the twilight zone
You ask if I miss you yes, of course I miss you
I miss you every night or two
When I hear the Moaning of the Midnight Train
it reminds me so much of you.

Wandering all alone down the road to roam
Wondering bout the seeds you sowed
A rock is a rock a hard place is a hard place
but a road is a road is a road
You trash it out and clean it up and almost get it right
about the time you're finished and through
When I hear the Moaning of the Midnight Train
it reminds me so much of you.

One day it's not enough One day it's too much
One day it's just a little bit of each
One day you're face to face and you don't even touch
You walk away when it's well within your reach
With that wall all around you, it was me you let in
You said nobody but nobody would do
When I hear the Moaning of the Midnight Train,
it reminds me so much of you.

Scratching out a living Scratching the surface
It's just the tip of the iceberg, Kid
The last place you look is where you're gonna find it
and you don't even know what it is that's hid
But don't feel so sad you're not doing so bad
I mean you got this far without a clue
When I hear the Moaning of the Midnight Train,
it reminds me so much of you.
