The Passenger - Stars

Night train right on time

Climb the steel stairs

Absinthe brandy wine

Spirits moving in the steam

Compartment forest green

The rattle of the rails

You fall into a dream

High clouds in the sky

Moon goes racing by

Another sleepless night

So you speed into daylight

Here comes another strange town

Here comes another breakdown

And you can run forever

They’ll catch you now or never

In the tainted car

And then later in the bar

You see yourself reflected

I wonder who you are

The passengers asleep

Dream of secrets that they keep

In the cabin next to you

A woman starts to weep

The things you knew all fall away

The things you had all disappear

As if you were never here

And when you arrive

You’re not sure if you’re alive

All the passengers are gone

Everybody except one

Station quiet, station still

Nothing moves, nothing will

Put your hand up to your face

There are things you can’t replace
