Night Train

Bruno Merz

Compositor: Bruno Merz

There’s a train that goes by,
Every night while I lie,
Dreaming of a new life,
Somewhere far from this night.

Take me with you,
Through darkness into day.
I want to view,
This life from far away.

Through mountain grasses,
It swiftly passes,
And warming sun rays,
They whisper new ways.

Take me with you,
Through darkness into day.
I want to view,
This life from far away.

There’s a train that goes by,
Every night while I lie,
Dreaming of a new life,
Somewhere far from this night.

Far from this weary night,
I see sky appearing,
And with this new sunrise,
I find you here so near me.
