[Verse 1 — close, restrained] Your station still lifts my hand to wake you out of your sleep then the doors open wide and nobody gets off I keep my eyes on the glass till the dark gives your face back just for the length of the tunnel just till the lights come back [Refrain] Quiet on the ghost train let the old carriage sway I won't say that I miss you you almost get to stay Quiet on the ghost train till the windows turn grey I won't say that I miss you you almost get to stay [Verse 2 — opening up] I still leave room at my shoulder when we lean into the bend my knee moves out from the heater like yours might find it again The guard says something above us half lost under the wheels I look up before I mean to then miss what he says next [Refrain — soft harmonies] Quiet on the ghost train let the old carriage sway I won't say that I miss you you almost get to stay Quiet on the ghost train till the windows turn grey I won't say that I miss you you almost get to stay [Instrumental Waltz] [Bridge — very close] I know exactly my stop I know the stairs to the street I know the key in my pocket I just don't get to my feet [let it breathe] [Final Refrain — rising] Quiet on the ghost train let the old carriage sway I say it — I still miss you the glass gives you back anyway Quiet on the ghost train (quiet on the ghost train) till the windows turn grey I say it — I still miss you you almost get to stay [Outro — fading] Quiet on the ghost train Quiet... Quiet... Quiet... on the ghost train.
