Late Night Train

[Verse 1] Another city, another neon sign The hotel piano asks if you're still mine I lie to the bartender with a practiced grin "She just stepped out... she'll be right back in" [Verse 2] The clock on the wall keeps dragging its feet Two A.M. tastes like whiskey and defeat My tie is loose but the memories hold tight Like the way you said goodbye that night [Pre-Chorus] I want to go home, but home's a face Not a place on a map I can trace If love had a station, you'd be the last stop Where every late night train finally drops I want to go home... and my home is you With your laugh in the hallway and your morning in blue If life is a long ride with windows of rain I'd take every mile just to see you again[Chorus] [Verse 3] I count all the tickets left inside my coat Each one a promise that we never wrote The conductor calls "all aboard" but I stay Cause none of these trains go your way [Pre-Chorus] I want to go home, but home's your name Written on letters I never mailed If love had a schedule, I'd know when to wait Instead of these platforms that all look the same I want to go home... and my home is you With your laugh in the hallway and your morning in blue If life is a long ride with windows of rain I'd take every mile just to see you again[Chorus] **** If life is a ballad, you're my refrain The note I keep coming back to in the rain I’d ride through the thunder, I’d ride through the blue Cause every track leads me back to you[Bridge] I want to go home... and my home is you I want to go home... and my home is you[Final Chorus] And when this late night train rolls in I hope you're there where my journey ends[Outro]
