Wishin' For You Lyrics - Flatlanders

That midnight tram is a long and a slow one 

The timetable's set, the brakernan is tired 

Your seat is reserved with exceptions for no one 

No luggage allowed, no ticket required 

It will be there right on time at the station 

Even if midnight must come at high noon 

And you will not know that tram's destination 

And you'll not leave late nor one minute too soon 

You may sit beside fear and go worse than lonely 

Or travel with trust and love and faith restored 

These choices you have and these choices only 

When that tram rolls in and you step on board 

Now that whistle blows, yes it's already whimn' 

If you listen close, you can hear it soft and clear 

And that headlight burns, yes it's already shimn' 

You might as well choose right now, it's love or fear 

It's love or fear
