Barry Manilow Border Train Lyrics

Border Train Lyrics

got nobody left to listen to 

got no promises to keep 

something's gotta be out there 

fine a world for me out there 

no more livin' half asleep 



there's an island in the misty night 

little platform by the track 

I dreamed I saw a light for me 

a face, a place so right for me 

that I'd never think of lookin' back 



through the shadowland 

like a siver band 

got no kind of plan 

I ride the border train 

somewhere new to be 

light the way for me 

moon and memories 

I ride the border train 



city jumps up like a circus 

neon flutters out of sight 

the town itself is traveling 

america unraveling 

and swallowed in the hungry night 



through the shadowland 

like a siver band 

got no kind of plan 

I ride the border train 

somewhere new to be 

light the way for me 

moon and memories 

I ride the border train 



There'll come a time 

with no goodbyes 

when I'll simply grab 

that border train 

and at journey's end 

they will all be real 

my lovers and friends 

and I swear to God 

there's time for me 

and I'll live the life I waited for! 



wooo oooo ooo oooo 

wooo oooo ooo oooo 

mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm 

I ride the border train 



somewhere new to be 

please light the way for me 

moon and memories 

I ride the border train
