I know it's time to travel it's The thing that takes a life I remember knowing who I am Maybe it'll be alright But I've got to leave it here I've got to leave you here I know I gave no reasons And nothing here is clear But what it is I'm feeling oh It's giving me the fear I've got to head away I've got to get away It's time that I was leaving as those Shadows fall on the midnight train In time you know I'd leave you running I just don't fit the world This is something that I've tried But it just don't work Is there some other way Oh is there another way? I can't explain the reason I just don't feel alright I know I've tried to smile and wave But I've got no fight Left in me babe No not in me babe It's time that I was leaving as those Shadows fall on the midnight train The midnight train And even as we roll away The weight begins to fall I didn't leave in hope for you I just hurried down the hall There's no other way There's no other way It's time that I was leaving as those Shadows fall on the midnight train It's time that I was leaving as that Whistle blows for the midnight train Midnight train The midnight train On the midnight train
