Wake Up When the Train Stops
Come down
The night is getting dark
Close your eyes
You’ll wake up when the train stops
Well, when the time comes
Baby, you will know it
When the coins in the air
You’ll have your chance to call it
Well, when the car it starts to shake
And the glass begins to crack
And the bones begin to ache
As they bounce along the track
Don’t pay no mind to all that business
It’s none of your concern
That’s just the sound of someone stealing things
That he could never earn
Come down
The night is getting dark
Close your eyes
You’ll wake up when the train stops
Now when the night comes
The eyes begin to stare
And what they say becomes the law
And what’s yours becomes theirs
Well the clouds roll over the world
And the snow starts on a dime
But the tracks have all been cleared
And the train is still on time
If you still got any heart
If you still got any get
Lean your head against the window
And don’t worry about the rest
Come down
The night is getting dark
Close your eyes
You’ll wake up when the train stops
Don’t worry about the ride
Don’t you worry about your watch
Close your eyes
You’ll wake up when the train stops
Close your eyes
You’ll wake up when the train stops
