Gerry Rafferty › Lyrics › City to City

Now the night train is waitin' to take me away
And I'm still feelin' guilty 'cause you're wantin' me to stay
Well I know, how I know, it's harder on you
But then you said it yourself, "There's nothin' else we could do"

When the wheels start turnin', takin' me through the night
Out there in the darkness, there's a star shinin' bright
And it makes me feel better just to see it up there
Hope you're thinkin' about it, hope you know I still care

So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home

Now I know you've been waitin' but I'll be seein' you soon
Meanwhile I just lay here starin' at the moon
And a light made of silver, through my window it creeps
And the train keeps on rollin' and it just rocks me to sleep

So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home

So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home

Now from city to city, it's four hundred miles
And I'm bound to wake up every once in a while
And it's then that I call out to some higher power
And then I'll go back to sleep 'cause I'll be home in an hour

So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home

So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home

I'm goin' home tonight
I'm goin' home tonight
I'm goin' home tonight
