That Train Lyrics - Singles - Robert Hunter

I see you standing at the station 

With your undying hope in hand 

You been standing there forever 

Waiting for the midnight train to land 

I sent a valentine to tell you 

What you could have guessed before 

But just in case you're still uncertain 

That train don't run here any more 

That train don't run here any more 

Not like it used to run before 

When it brought Lady to the city 

When it brought Stranger to the shore 

Now it doesn't run here any more 

That train don't run here any more 

Polly, Polly, would you step inside the door? 

Where you can't hear the howling of the train 

If you don't look too hard at my position 

I'll never, never tease you again 

You were confused by changing faces 

Yeah, but when you learn the rules they change the game 

You can catch the drift but not the drifter 

He don't put his hand inside the flame 

I see you hanging from a window 

The very one you saw clear through before 

You don't need no crystal ball to tell you 

That train don't run here any more 

That train don't run here any more 

Not like it used to run before 

When it brought gravy from the city 

When it brought seashell bracelets from the shore 

No, no it doesn't run here any more 

That train don't run here any more 

Polly, Polly, would you step inside the door? 

Where you can't hear the howling of the train 

If you don't look too hard at my position 

I swear I'll never tease you again 

You practiced hard at what you do 

So when it came around it came to you 

Anyone you want to take along 

With half an ear could join in your song 

But when that train gets busted open 

To show an empty safe inside 

You get slapped out of your slumber 

To find you don't have a face to hide 

That train don't run here any more 

Not like it used to run before 

Brought the big red apple to the city 

And it even carted off the core 

Now it doesn't run here any more 

That train don't run here any more 

That train don't run here any more 

That train don't run here any more 

That train don't run here any more
