Coming Home - Von Hertzen Brothers

Alone and alive on the midnight train

The life as I knew it

Shot down the drain

Right on time or way too late?

Oh Lord, give me all your mercy

To get it straight

The night keeps breathing down my neck

My nerves are shot;

I’m nearly a wreck

Oh midnight train

Take me away

Oh, Again

I do, I don’t

I’m close to insanity

I will, I won’t

The doubt is a-killing me

Bridges burning

Wheels are turning

I cut the rope

And free-fall to stay alive

I cling to hope

And see if I learn to fly

Bridges burning

Wheels are turning

And I’m running away?

Alone and alive on the midnight train

Over the edge just to feel the flame

Or am I just another pathetic liar?

And if I get burned will I always dread the fire?

I do, I don’t

I’m close to insanity

I will, I won’t

The doubt is a-killing me

Bridges burning

Wheels are turning

I cut the rope

And free-fall to stay alive

I cling to hope

And see if I learn to fly

Bridges burning

Wheels are turning

I feel the blood rushing through my brain

Under my skin and in my veins

Oh, this is real;

no I’m not insane

This time I’m gonna win this race

It’s only me and the open space

I speed up, pray for grace

This is real;

no I’m not insane

I’m riding fast on the midnight train

This time I won’t stay at the station

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Oh no

I do, I don’t

I’m close to insanity

I will, I won’t

The doubt is a-killing me

Bridges burning

Wheels are turning

I cut the rope

And free-fall to stay alive

I cling to hope

And see if I learn to fly

Bridges burning

Wheels are turning

Before I come back home

I’ve gotta take care of this

Oh, I’m coming home

I’ve gotta take care… yeah

Before I come back home

I remember being here before

So many times or even more

How many lives do I have to live?

To get things straight on the midnight train
