city to city

Gerry Rafferty

Now the night train is waitinââ?¬â?¢ to take me away
And Iââ?¬â?¢m still feelinââ?¬â?¢ guilty cause youââ?¬â?¢re wanting me to stay
Well I know, how I know, itââ?¬â?¢s harder on you
But you said it yourself, thereââ?¬â?¢s nothing else we could do.

When the wheels start turninââ?¬â?¢, takinââ?¬â?¢ me through the night
Out there in the darkness, thereââ?¬â?¢s a star shininââ?¬â?¢ bright
And it makes me feel better just to see it up there
I hope youââ?¬â?¢re thinkinââ?¬â?¢ about it, hope you know I still care.

So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.

Now I know youââ?¬â?¢ve been waiting, but Iââ?¬â?¢ll be seeing you soon
Meanwhile I just lay here staring at the moon
And a light made of silver, through my window it creeps
And the train keeps on rollinââ?¬â?¢, and it just rocks me to sleep.

So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home
So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home

So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.
So goodnight, yeah goodnight
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home.

Now from city to city, itââ?¬â?¢s four hundred miles
And Iââ?¬â?¢m bound to wake up every once in a while
And itââ?¬â?¢s then that I call out to some higher power
And then Iââ?¬â?¢ll go back to sleep cause Iââ?¬â?¢ll be home in an hour.

So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)
So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)
So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)
So goodnight (goodnight), yeah goodnight (goodnight)
Goodnight train is gonna carry me home (goodnight)

(fade)
Iââ?¬â?¢m going home (ooooh) tonight...
