Midnight express

Wake up my love,
At Detroit I get off,
Now it's Pittsburg,
It's not time to sleep,

Back on the platform,
Didn't know you at all,
Now I feel like
I've known you for years.

So while I'm having you near,
Right before you disappear,
Tell me what I long to hear.

The trip was a bore,
As was desperate Baltimore,
Keep riding, there's nothing to see.

But since you're onboard,
I'm praising the lord,
Now you sit next to me.

So while I'm having you near,
Right before you disappear,
Tell me what I long to hear.

Hurry my love,
At Detroit I get off,
Now it's Cleveland,
It's too fast for me.

By the window I was watching
The land, I was thinking,
How fast life's been passing by me,

So while I'm having you near,
Right before you disappear,
Tell me what I long to hear.

Now comes my station,
A voice calls for attention,
Guess the trip is ending for me,

But once on the platform,
When I'm off your attraction,
Will your words still echo in me?

So while I'm having you near...
