Destitute, desolation

Angels eyes shine upon my curse 

From this mountain I make my way 

Along the railroad earth 



Steam train blazing a lonely hill 

Damaged cargo am I 

But not so damaged as not to see 

The magic in the sky 



Oh Midnight, Midnight Ghost 

Ol' zipper rollin' down the line 

Oh Midnight, Midnight Ghost 

Rollin' down the line 



Without a memory, without a heartache 

Ain't no comfort in happiness 

Tidings whispered and merciful 

Are the tidings I like best 



dawn twilight, skyline glowing 

Mountain wind blowing through (Blowing through) 

And I tug upon the jug of my redemption 

Nothing much else to do 



Oh Midnight, Midnight Ghost... 



In a sense my innocence 

Been waiting here all along 

Thought I travelled so far away 

But I was never even gone 



Pray for me my Sweet Marie 

I'm searching still for to see my sign 

Rolling on to a new day 

Down that midnight line 



Oh Midnight, Midnight Ghost... 



Destitute, desolation 

Angels eyes shine upon my curse 

From this mountain I make my way 

Along the railroad earth
