It's a sinners dream when the whistle screams
They pass a thousand concrete pillars
It's a funeral pyre belching smoke and fire
They search eternal winter landscapes
(Repeat first verse) Ghost train to nowhere...
Back to TaylorSongs.
Calling "All aboard you fools and hard-hearted"
Ever circling back on a one-way track
They pull into the station where they started
Some arriving when they think they've just departed
But they're not going anywhere
Lost souls when they've landed there
Choose to stay like prisoners unguarded
All hope is abandoned here
'Cause they know the engineer
Ghost train to nowhere
And never see a single tree
Grey sky eyes begging for a little sleep
Down the same dark tunnels
Past the same empty streets
The cigarette smoke chokes
(And) the coffe is weak
And they cry "oh..."
All luxuries, amenities discarded
It circles back on a one-way track
Pulling into the station where it started
Ghost train to nowhere...
For images of loved ones and home
Though every seat and aisle is crowded
They have never felt so all alone
While suffering is assured and silence is preferred
Most everybody weeps though they don't say a word
They just cry "oh..."
They sigh... "o-o-h-h..."
