Half-Moon Sleeper Train

[Verse 1] Old black engine Breathing in the cold night air Windows fogging Finger traces wandering there Dark pines leaning As we hum along the rails The Half-moon watching From a silver Sleepy veil [Chorus] Half-moon sleeper train Carry us Carry us far Through the whispering pines Under a sky full of stars Let the wheels keep time To a soft and steady rhyme Half-moon sleeper train Rock us into the night [Verse 2] Bags on our shoulders We move through the narrow glow Find our bunks and Fold the day and let it go Crisp white sheets And blankets warm and soft As the whistle starts to cry (so high) Then the velvet rest Of a tunnel closing eyes [Chorus] Half-moon sleeper train Carry us Carry us far Through the whispering pines Under a sky full of stars Let the wheels keep time To a soft and steady rhyme Half-moon sleeper train Rock us into the night [Bridge] Breathing with the tracks (shhh) Heartbeat in the frame Names fade into dreams Dreams forget our names Forest turns to cloud Cloud turns into midnight blue Carriage rocks so slow And we drift to sleep (drift to sleep) [Chorus] Half-moon sleeper train Carry us Carry us far Through the whispering pines Under a sky full of stars Let the wheels keep time To a soft and steady rhyme Half-moon sleeper train Rock us into the night Rock us into night (goodnight)
