When the nightingale sings in the deep of the night 

And the robin he sleeps on the wing 

Hear the toll of the bell ringing out all is well 

And the city's golden lights shining on 

Ride the long black train 

Ride the long black train 

It takes us all the black train Take me home black train


Ride the long black train 

Ride the long black train 

It takes us all the black train 

Take me home black train


And the shadows we pass turns my soul into glass 

And the streets that I walk are all tamed 

Hear the toll of the bell ringing out all is well 

And the city's golden lights shining on 

Ride the long black train 

Ride the long black train 

It takes us all the black train 

Take me home black train


And the briar and the rose in the churchyard they grow 

'Neath the clock tower tall all entwined 

And the raven he flies round the oak as she sighs 

And the candles they call out my name 

To ride the long black train 

Ride the long black train 

It takes us all the black train 

Take me home black train
