Night Train

On the first day of the month of March I took the overnight train to India And I wondered who they’d leave in charge But that kind of thinking won’t get you anywhere It’s been 6 months since I felt my heart And my choices felt like an act of war But the ghost in me would not depart There were nails in the coffin but I’m back for more A life lived on paper is no life at all But now I’m flying through the night I spent my whole life working dates and stocks Trading time for money till I nearly died But now I packed my life into a box Travelling 60 miles an hour through the countryside A life lived on paper is no life at all But now I’m flying through the night A life lived on paper is no life at all But now I’m flying through the night But I’m flying through the night But I’m flying through the night --- Night Train - Graeme James
