the sky so black and clear
in the midnight of my mind
the one thing that I fear
is that the night train
the night train
the night train
might leave me behind
I'm waiting for the night train
sit and waiting for the night train
all alone in the station
I don't know my destination
I'm just burning here and waiting
waiting for the night train
got a brand new pack of cigarettes
a moonpie and a coke
can't remember what I should forget
my head all full of some bad smoke
don't know how I'm gone explain
sitting waiting for the night train
the night train is so regular
it always come on time
I know just where to stand for it
it stops right on a dime
I don't need no schedule
don't need to read no sign
it's my own goddam punishment
for my unknown crime
the sky so black and clear
in the midnight of my mind
the greatest thing I fear
is that the night train
the night train
the night train
might leave me behind

I love the repetition line the night train, I hope your train waits, and delivers you to the bright side of the tracks. Well done dear poet, thanks for sharing xo
