Midnight Ghost Lyrics - The Gathering Field

Destitute, desolation 

Angels eyes shine upon my curse 

From this mountain, I make my way 

Along the railroad earth 

Steam train blazing a lonely hill 

Damaged cargo am I 

But not so damaged as not to see 

The magic in the sky 

Oh midnight, midnight ghost 

Ol' zipper rollin' down the line 

Oh midnight, midnight ghost 

Rollin' down the line 

Without a memory, without a heartache 

Ain't no comfort in happiness 

Tidings, whispered and merciful 

Are the tidings I like best 

Pre-dawn twilight, skyline glowing 

Mountain wind blowing through, blowing through 

And I tug upon the jug of my redemption 

Nothing much else to do 

Oh midnight, midnight ghost 

Ol' zipper rollin' down the line 

Oh midnight, midnight ghost 

Rollin' down the line 

In a sense, my innocence 

Been waiting here all along 

I thought I'd traveled so far away 

But I was never even gone 

Pray for me, my sweet Marie 

I'm searching still for to see my sign 

Rolling on to a new day 

Down that midnight line 

Oh midnight, midnight ghost 

Ol' zipper rollin' down the line 

Oh midnight, midnight ghost 

Rollin' down the line 

Rollin', yeah, oh, she's rollin' 

She's rollin', rollin' down the line 

Rollin', rollin', rollin' down the line 

Yeah, she's rollin', rollin', rollin' down the line 

Yeah, we're rollin', rollin', rollin' down the line 

Yeah, she's rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' 

Destitute, desolation 

Angels eyes shine upon my curse 

From this mountain, I make my way 

Along the railroad earth
