lyrics

6. Night Train from Milan 4:46

On the last night of the summer
On the late train out of Milan
I was hoping I could catch up with
The one already gone
‘Cause out here on the other side
Of God only knows where
Maddalena said goodbye
And she vanished
On the night train
On the night train

CHORUS
On the night train from Milan there’s no need to hide
You bought the ticket you’ll take the ride
St. Ambrose sent me on my way
St. Jude will lead me home
On the night train from Milan
Everybody’s traveling alone
On the night train
On the night train

I have the same dream every night
That I’m riding on this train
I can’t get to where I’m going
I’m cursed to take this ride again
It seems like I could find her
But this night train moves too slow
You can never catch tomorrow
Yesterday’s too long ago
On the night train
The night train

CHORUS

And if you’re out here late some night
And you’re riding on this train
You might hear a ghostly presence
Calling Maddalena’s name
But you don’t need to be afraid
If it’s my ghost you see
I’m only praying at the next stop
She’ll be waiting
On the night train
On the night train

CHORUS

On the last night of the summer
On the late train out of Milan
All aboard the night train
