Al Stewart Night Train To Munich Lyrics

Night Train To Munich Lyrics

Meet me at the station underneath the clock
Carry an umbrella, no need to
talk
The man in the homburg, hding in the fog
Will be watching
Get
yourself a ticket, go through the gate
At seven forty-five precisely, don't
be late
If anybody follows don't hesitate
Keep on walking

And take
the night train to Munich
Rumbling down the track
After half an hour in
the restaurant car
Look for the conductor
And there will be a stain on
his tunic
A paper underneath his arm
Then you'd better pray that he
doesn't look away
Or you'll never, never, never come back.

When you
get the paper take a look inside
On page twenty-seven there's a photo of a
bride
Underneath the story of a man who died
In Morocco
Memorize the
article word for word
The man in the homburg understands the code
Make
sure the conversation isn't overheard
They're around you

And take the
night train to Munich
Rumbling down the track
After half an hour in the
restaurant car
Look for the conductor
And there will be a stain on his
tunic
A paper underneath his arm
Then you'd better pray that he doesn't
look away
Or you'll never, never, never come back.

I really wouldn't
ask if there was anybody else
But I now you've got the knack of taking care
of yourself
And they don't know your face so there won't be
anyone
Looking for you
When you get to Munich we'll be waiting in the
car
Don't look around, just walk straight out
If you don't show, I'm
sorry for the pain
I caused you

Upon the night train to
Munich
Rumbling down the track
After half an hour in the restaurant
car
Look for the conductor
And there will be a stain on his tunic
A
paper underneath his arm
Then you'd better pray that he doesn't look
away
Or you'll never, never, never come back
