Midnight Trolley - Daniel Kahn, Vanya Zhuk

When darkness descends

And I can’t beat my dues

I’ll wander the streets

After midnight

'Till the last trolley car

Comes around into view

A blue light

In the black night

The last trolley car

Comes around into view

A blue light

In the black night

The trolley at night

As she circles the town

With all of the streets

Rolling past her

She rescues us all

Who are treading the ground

From disaster

To disaster

She rescues us all

Who are treading the ground

From disaster

To disaster

Blue trolley at night

Won’t you open your door

For every floundering failure

Stranded tonight

On this shivering shore

Your sailors

My saviors

Stranded tonight

On this shivering shore

Your sailors

My saviors

And again, I can leave

All my troubles behind

And warm up my soul

With the kindness

That shoulder to shoulder

We passengers find

In silence

In silence

That shoulder to shoulder

We passengers find

In silence

In silence

And the trolley sails on

In its lumbering flow

A slumbering city

Beside it

And the pain that had pecked

At my brain like a crow

Subsided

Subsided

The pain that had pecked

At my brain like a crow

Subsided

Subsided
