Watching the long faces
Riding [bad word] down track
And the lost places
From a dream that never brings them back
And the sad [bad word] is
Nothing but a cold hard fact

I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train

Counting the burned bridges
Trailing [bad word] wreck
As our back pages
Scatter in the dust we left
Like a pearl necklace
Falling from around my neck

I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train

Away down the low road
ticket to an empty room
rendezvous unknown

I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train
