Train Whistles at Midnight

Oh, midnight train
I missed you friend
'Tis sweet to hear your song transcend
The silky sky and rounded bend
To know you go on without end

What countless stream of track and cars
Did grace the space beneath the stars
To meander and mysteriously meet me here
To bring me peace and friendship dear

It's odd, I guess, the connection I feel
To the universe from distant steel
That comforts me and tells me, Son,
This whistle calls for everyone
But only some put ear to track
And take the time to whistle back
And find the message in the song
And change their course and move along
But somehow you've chanced onto that
So our conductor tips his hat
To honor you and tell you Son,
Whistle now to everyone
