Lyrics

Ghost Train

Thought I heard something in the breeze
Late last night while everybody slept except for me
And I know I heard something moan
When it started to rain I was outside alone

just as real as you and me I saw the ghost train
At the point when the lightning stops and the thunder remains
then she faded into the slow night breeze
the steam melted into the warm summer rain
My first glimpse of the ghost train

Put a chill right up my spine
To see it there just like a footnote out of time
Even though it’s been here before
Every now and then since before the civil war

And the conductor tipped his hat to the sky
No passengers looked back as the train started to fly
Then she faded into the slow night breeze
the steam melted into the warm summer rain
farewell for now to you ghost train
