Richard Hawley - Long Black Train lyrics

When the nightingale sings in the deep of the night

And the robin he sleeps on the wing

Hear the toll of the bell ringing out all is well

And the city's golden lights shining on

Ride the long black train

Ride the long black train

It takes us all the black train Take me home black train

Ride the long black train

Ride the long black train

It takes us all the black train

Take me home black train

And the shadows we pass turns my soul into glass

And the streets that I walk are all tamed

Hear the toll of the bell ringing out all is well

And the city's golden lights shining on

Ride the long black train

Ride the long black train

It takes us all the black train

Take me home black train

And the briar and the rose in the churchyard they grow

'Neath the clock tower tall all entwined

And the raven he flies round the oak as she sighs

And the candles they call out my name

To ride the long black train

Ride the long black train

It takes us all the black train

Take me home black train
