Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"City To City" lyrics


Now the night train is waitin' to take me awayAnd I'm still feelin' guilty cause you're wanting me to stayWell I know, how I know, it's harder on youBut you said it yourself, there's nothing else we could do.
When the wheels start turnin', takin' me through the nightOut there in the darkness, there's a star shinin' brightAnd it makes me feel better just to see it up thereI hope you're thinkin' about it, hope you know I still care.
So goodnight, yeah goodnightGoodnight train is gonna carry me homeSo goodnight, yeah goodnightGoodnight train is gonna carry me home.
Now I know you've been waiting, but I'll be seeing you soonMeanwhile I just lay here staring at the moonAnd a light made of silver, through my window it creepsAnd the train keeps on rollin', and it just rocks me to sleep.
So goodnight, yeah goodnightGoodnight train is gonna carry me homeSo goodnight, yeah goodnightGoodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnightGoodnight train is gonna carry me home.So goodnight, yeah goodnightGoodnight train is gonna carry me home.
Now from city to city, it's four hundred milesAnd I'm bound to wake up every once in a whileAnd it's then that I call out to some higher powerAnd then I'll go back to sleep cause I'll be home in an hour.
So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)
(fade)I'm going home (ooooh) tonight...
