If you listen close, you can hear it soft and clear
No luggage allowed, no ticket required
Or travel with trust and love and faith restored
When that train rolls in and you step on board
And you'll not leave late nor one minute too soon
You will not know that train's destination
And you might as well choose right now
Timetable’s set with exceptions for no one
Now that whistle blows, yes, it’s already whinin'
Even if midnight must come at high noon
It will be there right on time at the station
You may sit beside fear and go worse than lonely
These choices you have and these choices only
And that headlight burns, yes, it's already shinin'
