When your goodnights have been said
And you are lying in bed
With the covers pulled up tight
And though you count every sheep
You get the feeling that
Sleep is gonna stay away tonight
That's when you hear it coming
That is when you hear the humming
Of the midnight train
Here again
Can't explain that midnight train
That midnight train
Starlight express, you must confess
Are you real Yes or no
Starlight express, answer me yes
I don't want you to go
Want you to take me away
But bring me back before daylight
and dim the time between
Take me to everywhere
But don't abandon me there
Just want to say I've been
I believe in you completely
Though I may be dreaming sweetly
I can hear the train
Here again
Can't explain that midnight train
That midngiht train
Starlight express, you must confess
Are you real Yes, or no
Starlight express, answer me yes
I don't want you to go
Starlight express, answer me yes
I don't want you to go
Starlight express, you must confess
Are you real Yes, or no
Starlight express, answer me yes
I don't want you to go
