Lyric

A night train runs along the tracks

Its song rings out over the silent yard

I stand alone on the platform, waiting

A ticket in my pocket, excitement in my hand

There is still warmth on the surface of the bench

Where you just sat with me

Silence grips my shoulders

Only the wind passes coldly

The night train takes me forward

Ever further from the villages and roads

Every departure carries with it

A mark that leaves a mark in my heart

The station clock strikes the hours of the night

The windows dim all around

I step into the carriage, the door closes

And shadows remain on the platform

The night train takes me forward

Ever further from the villages and roads

Every departure carries with it

A mark that leaves a mark in my heart

If I were to see you once more

I would not search for useless words

I would watch as your train disappears

Like a spark into the darkness of the night

The night train takes you forward

Further and further from villages and roads

Every departure carries with it

A mark that remains in the heart
