Song | Overnight Sleeper |
Artist | Steve Hackett |
Album | Cured |
Beneath the scattered light | |
Across bare hills of night | |
I dreamt a train just missed me | |
Another came in sight | |
I ran across the track | |
Then had to turn right back | |
A new one came straight at me | |
The next behind my back | |
Nowhere else to turn to | |
There are walls on either side | |
Why must the embankment be so high | |
Beside myself with weakness | |
And faint from running wild | |
I could hear the sound of burning coal | |
They never seem to stop | |
But always get to smoke | |
Right out between two tunnels | |
I ran until I woke |
