Overnight Train Verse 1 The station clock is breathing slow.. the six pm express is a no show , the 7pm just got delayed again... A suitcase at my feet heart beats and frosted breath thoughts of you drift in as on my headphones tunes Your picture card is folded in my coat a treasure... i can't afford to lose The sun goes down the platform line The rail lights begin to shine Verse 2 I told you I’d be gone a while Just long enough to try There’s work in towns that don’t ask why They only want your time I’ll learn the new streets sounds, I’ll earn the days pay I’ll learn how not to sigh when our goodbyes come again my heart beats steady as i ride along each rolling mile is another beat from you Refrain (low, alone) I’m riding on an overnight train until i see you again Verse 3 The whistle cuts the quiet clean tanoy chimes.... The doors are closing now I warm my hands inside my coat We are Passing by ....the neon streets and blinking signs I don’t know how To turn around, to say your name To ask the world to wait Chorus / Climax (lift, backing voices enter): I’m riding on an overnight train towns flash by like memories ; Where I try to make a little more than I spend. The blazing sunsets roll on in and sleepy hours pass till... mornings dawn sounds... the journeys end.. I’m riding on an overnight train Till I can come back home again (hold “again” — A4, straight tone, then release) Outro (drop back): So keep the light on, say my name I’m coming home… my friend (Vocal journey (mapped) Verses: Range: E3 → A3 “I’m telling you something I haven’t told anyone else... I've been missing you ... and i 'm coming home to you ” Refrain (first appearance) Peak: C♯4 Final Chorus / Climax Ascent: E4 → A4
