Night Train - Bruce Cockburn
Not a knife throw from here
You can hear the night train passing
That's the sound somebody makes
When they're getting away
Leaving next week's hanging jury far behind them
Prisoner only of the choices they have made
Night train
Night train
Ice cube in a dark drink shines like starlight
The moon is floating somewhere out at sea
On an island in the blur of noise and color
Alcatraz st Alina patmos and the chateau d'if
Night train
Night train
Everyone's an island edged with sand
A temporary refuge where somebody else can stand
Till the sea that binds us
Like the forced tie of a blood oath
Will wear it down dissolve it
Recombine it
Anyone can die here they do it every day
It doesn't take much effort though it goes against the grain
And the ultimate forget fulness of violence
Sweeps the landscape like a headlight of a train
Night train
Night train
Ice cube in a dark drink shines like starlight
Starlight shines like glass shards in dark hair
And the mind's eye tumbles out along the steel track
Fixing every shadow with it's stare
Night train
Night train
And in the absence of a vision there are nightmares
And in the absence of compassion there is cancer
Whose banner waves over palaces and mean streets
And the rhythm of the night train is a mantra
