Pogues - Night Train To Lorca Lyrics
Across the dark and dusty plainWhere scars of old dry rivers runNight unfolds, a coal black shroudAcross the hard and stony groundDistant stars shining brightIn the cavern of the nightAll is still and silence screamsTo the thunder of the lorca trainFlaming steal swift as windWires hum the rails ringSmokestack burning fiery sparksRise up to the starsTowns asleep by empty roadsChurches rise from crooked roofsCloaked in darkness nothing stirsGrow smaller darker disappearSee the moon so still and coldA million stars that shed no warmthYour nightmares all come out to playIn the silver lightWait for sunrise in the eastLong shadows crawl across the plainThe ghosts of night will disappearAnd lay your fears to restSteam hissed up, the hot coals glowedThe furnace blazed, the wheels they rolledOn tracks of iron, straight and coldThe silver moonlight dancedThe flames are in the firemans eyeOrange in the engines glowGleaming pistons whirling cranksWait for dawn the roosters crow
