Ghost Train Lyrics - Marc Cohn - Marc Cohn

Everybody talks about some fateful day 

I guess that this was mine 

I may be here to tell some kind of story 

But I think it's gonna take a little time, that's all right 

See I'm rocking in a cradle 

Down the hall somewhere and I am lost inside a dream 

Maybe I am falling, maybe I am flying 

But I know if I am crying she is holding me 

And then the sky broke up 

And then the rain came down 

And it washed away everything on the ground 

Wash it away, wash it away, wash it away 

Now baby's got that bottle 

Filled with lightning and rain 

He keeps calling out for someone 

But she's riding on a train, riding on the ghost train 

And she keeps on riding 

She's gonna keep on riding 

Mama keep on riding 

Keep on riding 

Some trains they leave in the morning 

Some leave in the afternoon 

Some trains they leave here right on time 

And some they just leave too soon, way too soon 

But I'm gonna keep on 

Baby's got that bottle 

Filled with lightning and rain 

He keeps calling out for someone 

But she's riding on a train, riding on the ghost train 

Yeah, she keeps on riding 

(And then the sky broke up) 

(And then the rain came down) 

(And it washed away everything on the ground) 

She keeps on riding, she just keeps on riding 

(Wash it away, wash it away, wash it away) 

Keep on riding 

Baby's got that bottle 

Filled with lightning and rain 

He keeps calling out for someone 

But she's riding on a train, riding on the ghost train 

Riding on the ghost train 

(Wash it away, wash it away) 

Riding on the ghost train, riding on the ghost train 

Riding on the ghost train
