The Flatlanders - Moanin’ of the Midnight Train lyrics

Sweetheart, your heart is loaded down With useless burdens and bones I can tell by the tear stains on your letter That you wrote me from the twilight zone You ask if I miss you, well, of course I miss you I miss you every night or two When I hear the moanin' of the midnight train Reminds me so much of you Wanderin' all alone down the road to roam Wonderin' 'bout the seeds you've sown A rock is a rock, a hard place is a hard place But a road is a road is a road You trash it out and clean it up and almost get it right About the time time you're done and through When I hear the moanin' of the midnight train Reminds me so much of you One day, it's not enough, one day, it's too much One day, it's just a little bit of each One day, you're face to face and you don't even touch You walked away when it was well within your reach With that wall all around you, it was me who let you in When you said nobody but nobody would do When I hear the moanin' of the midnight train Reminds me so much of you Scratchin' out a livin', scratchin' the surface It's just the tip of the iceberg, kid The last place you look is where you're gonna find it You don't even know what it is that's hid But don't feel so sad, you ain't doin' so bad Hey, you got this far without a clue When I hear the moanin' of the midnight train Reminds me so much of you When I hear the moanin' of the midnight train It reminds me so much of you
