City streets passing by Underneath stormy skies Neon signs in the night Red and blue city lights Cargo trains rolling by Once again someone cries Trains and winter rains No going back no going home Trains across the plains And in the sky a star alone Every time it's the same One more night one more train Everywhere empty roads Where they go no one knows Trains and winter rains No going back no going home Trains across the plains And in the sky a star alone Trains and winter rains No going back no going home Trains across the plains And in the sky a star alone Trains and winter rains No going back no going home Trains across the plains And in the sky a star alone Trains and winter rains No going back no going home Trains across the plains And in the sky a star alone
