When your good nights have been said
And you are lying in bed
With the covers pulled up tight
And tho you count every sheep
You get the feeling that sleep

Is gonna stay away tonight
That is when you hear it comin
That is when you hear the humin
Of the Midnight train
Here Again
Can't explain that midnight train, that midnight train

Chorus:

Starlight express
You must confess
Are you real? Yes or no
Starlight express
Answer me yes
I don't want you to go

Want you to take me away
But bring me back back before daylight
And in the time between
Take me to everywhere
But don't abandon me there
Just wanna say i've been
I believe in you completely
Though I may be Dreaming sweetly
I can hear a train
Here again, Can't explain that Midnight train, that Midnight train

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus)

Starlight express
You must confess
Are you real? Yes or no

Starlight Express
please answer me yes
I don't want you to go...
