Lyrics

Freight train crying in the middle of the night A whistle blows, I hear it though it's nowhere in sight It's always after midnight, a lonely voice is heard Echo through the backyards, disappear without a word I hear you sing for miles around While the cool kids dream and the old folks sleep in Miles around Are you sending me a message? If you are, I think I need it Miles around Freight train, I've been waitin' for a letter from you I know patience might be some kind of virtue But I'm sitting' at the crossroad, holding my heart in my hand A lonely freight train, you're everywhere that I am It's always after midnight when I hear the whistle blow It echoes through the backyards, is there something I should know? I hear you sing for miles around While the cool kids dream and the old folks sleep in Miles around Are you sending me a message? If you are, I think I need it Miles around When you think you're all alone And only phantoms on your phone Close your eyes and listen for the sound Of people singing for miles around Miles around Miles around While the cool kids dream and the old folks sleep in Miles around Are you sending me a message? If you are, I think I need it Miles around
